Radio Shack Sould Level Meter - Analog Meter

We've been in contact with Radio Shack over the last year. They informed us of the change over way before it was actually implemented. They even sent us the manual for review. However, what was missing was a unit for testing. We have one now, but did not get one in advance. They did tell us that the change was not performance related. It turns out the two appear to respond identically (at least within our tolerence of measurement). They did some cosmetic things with the new model and I believe they replaced some components internally (perhaps SMDs in some cases--although we have not opened the unit up) for more cost effective manufacturing.

Sorry for the confusion between the call and the site. On the site we show and link to the new model as the old model is "no longer available" according to Radio Shack. We know that there are still 2050s in about 400 stores across the country. We know the reliability and the precise curves measured on quite a few units over a different period of time. I suspect the performance is identical with the new model--but we have not yet done the same extensive testing as of yet.
