Alternatives in this detector type
Radiacode 103
The Radiacode for people who mainly want isotope identification in a pocket size. If you just want dose readings, the 102 is enough.

Radiacode Zero
A sensitive pocket dosimeter that still works in a real emergency. Choose it over a spectrometer if dose readings matter more than isotope identification.
