        Comments about RadioShack RFID Reader with Tags:

        I went into the store to buy a sensor and saw this product on sale, so I decided to buy it. The labeled four pin configuration allows simple, easy connections to the interface. You do have to build your own interface though and I do not have the recourses to do so. When I do get an interface built, I would like to use this product as a lock for my bedroom door.

              The Picture shows 5 different tags. The large tag, the 50mm disc, the adhesive disc, the key fob, and the capsule version. What you actually get is the reader and two of the large tags.[...]

                Comments about RadioShack RFID Reader with Tags:

                I used this product in a security lock I built for my home. It functions very well, limited range however (about 5 inches).

                Product works well, however, product's description is inaccurate. Pictured and labeled as "with tags" and showing a variety of tags that you would assume come with it, they do not.

                You only get two randomly chosen tags with this device.

                As far as the product itself, it performs very well for the price, and is easy to integrate.

                    This is a great RFID reader for your projects (Parallax always makes great stuff). The reader itself is fairly small, and will fit in almost any enclosure. The only downside is the range - about 5-9 inches.
