When I got there I found the "exact" item, exact as in the model number was the same. But in the store the specs were quite different from what was on-line: much brighter (16 mw vs 7 mw) and much wider angle (45 vs 6). When I tried it out, it worked much better in that it was much easier to calibrate and use. While I'm glad that it did work better, it makes me wonder about Radio Shack's database.
