Head-to-head · Updated August 2026LATNEX AF-5000 vs CORNET ED98 QPro5G
Both meters are built for the 5G era, but they solve different problems. The AF-5000 is a do-everything multifield meter; the CORNET ED98 is a fast, RF-focused hunter with a frequency counter that tells you roughly what band you're seeing. Here's how to choose.
Specs side by side
| Spec | LATNEX AF-5000 | CORNET ED98 QPro5G |
|---|---|---|
| RF frequency range | Up to 10 GHz | 100 MHz – 8 GHz (to ~11 GHz reduced) |
| 5G band indicator | — | Yes — frequency counter + 5G band ID |
| AC magnetic | Yes | 50 Hz – 10 kHz |
| AC electric | Yes | 50 Hz – 50 kHz |
| Light flicker | — | 400–700 THz (LED flicker) |
| Modes | Multifield auto | Quad-mode + peak-hold + logging |
| Price | $189.99 | $209.99 |
Where the AF-5000 wins
- Full multifield coverage. Its magnetic (ELF) and electric ranges are broader, so one device credibly covers wiring, panels, and wireless — the CORNET's low-frequency ranges are narrower and RF-first.
- Top-end RF. A clean 10 GHz ceiling for high-band 5G.
- Simplicity. Auto multifield operation is friendlier for first-time testers.
Where the CORNET ED98 wins
- Knows the band. A built-in frequency counter with a 5G signal indicator tells you roughly which service you're picking up — great for diagnosing a specific tower or router.
- Speed & logging. Quad modes, fast bar-graph response, peak-hold, and data logging make property sweeps quick.
- LED flicker. Also measures visible-light flicker (400–700 THz) — a bonus the AF-5000 doesn't offer.
- Price. ~$19 cheaper.
Our verdict: Choose the AF-5000 if you want one meter to audit the whole home — wireless plus wiring/appliance fields — with the least fuss. Choose the CORNET ED98 if RF/5G is your focus and you value knowing the frequency, fast sweeps, logging, and flicker detection. Both are strong 5G-era picks; the AF-5000 is the better default for a typical household.
