Default electronic radon testing

Does anyone use or know much about the electronic radon testing systems? I currently use the activated charcoal canisters but was wondering if it would be a benefit to go with the electronic type testing, any help would be appreciated.

Search this board this has been debated many times. Most will agree that using a canister is outdated. Lab wait time and why use something that your customers can use. I use a Sun nuclear machine immediate results after test. Able to print or email results. Many also use Rad o-link. Visit NRPP good info and worth joining.

I also use a Sun Nuclear Meter and love it. My clients love the timely turnaround, especially when you do an inspection close the inspection objection deadline.
Make sure you follow all calibration requirements and duplicate sample requirements.

Thanks
