TriField TF2 Review (UK, USA, Canada). The TriField TF2 EMF meter is capable of measuring magnetic and electrical frequencies in both standard and weighted. It's also kitted out with the ability to measure RF (radio / microwave frequency). This basically means that the TF2 can measure the frequency of just about anything electrical. From household items like hairdryers, microwaves, computers, televisions and WiFi routers, to smartphones, powerstations, powerlines (pylons) and cellphone towers (phone masts).

More and more people are now using EMF meters to scan properties when looking for a new house / flat / apartment to see if there are any invisible dangers in the form of high levels / high spike areas of EMF. Also rising in popularity as electric cars now become a more permanent fixture, is the potentially high levels of EMF being found in some electric cars.
This is very dependent on model, but some do have high readouts in certain areas (see a Tesla readout). Although it should be noted, the meter in the picture at the link is reading magnetic fields, and normal cars can also give off fairly high readings in certain areas of the car. But, that Tesla readout is high for the meter just being sat on a seat. So its just something worth being aware of.

As a result, some potential buyers are taking an EMF meter with them to measure if the EMF is exessive in certain areas of the car. Anyone sensitive to EMF who is considering buying an electric car should either buy or borrow an EMF meter in order to check before purchase. The same goes for moving into a new home too (buying or renting).
One question that gets asks quite frequently about the TriField TF2: Can it measure / detect 5G. Well, due to the fact that the TF2's RF frequency range starts @ 20MHz and goes all the way up to 6GHz, yes, it can measure 5G at the moment. but could have some limitations if the proposed band of 28 GHz is used in the future (not in use yet and might not ever be, so should be all good for the next few years). Watch the review video below to see what is excluded from the 5G bands (above 24GHz).

How does it compare to the Cornet ED-88tplus
As you can see in the review video, it's very easy to use. While comparable to other meters that fall within the same price range, such as the EMFields Acousticom 2 and PF5, some people prefer the digital readout of the TF2, and the fact that the manual dial at the front gives people the option to easily switch through the modes and measure different types of frequencies. A very versatile device. If you want an EMFields branded device that has a digital readout try the Acoustimeter AM-11 (measures up to 8GHz).
Reviews are generally positive, with an overall very high rating on Amazon. Build quality is good. The TF2 is made in America by AlphaLab, Inc. This device takes 1 square PP3 battery. Another, somewhat older model well worth buying if you can find one for sale, is the TriField 100xe (I think its also known as the Broadband meter or sometimes referred to as the TF1).
The older model, now discontinued, can sometimes be found for sale on eBay used. This model is rather old, so not really recommended over the newer models mentioned here if your intention is to measure RF specifically. The newer models are much better for that.
