Will a wireless transmitter for a bicycle computer interfere with this HRM
1811312
Larry,Depends on the frequency of the bicycle transmitter. I'll assume the bicycle transmitter is digital and I know that the HRM is analog so it's a tough call. If ithe bicycle transmitter is close to the operating frequency or it's harmonics it possibly could interfere with the HRM but, today, most transmitters operate in a very tight range. As to the comment that this HRM is not intuitive I would agree. On the bright side, I have been using it for 3 years, 3 days a week, and does what I need it for, with no problem of crosstalk with any other HRM in use at my gym.

Absolutely! I didn't do my homework leading to the purchase of my first Timex HRM. The second time around, I asked lots of questions, talked face to face with the sales dept in a local Dick's Sporting Goods. Same result. Know too that a coworker owns a Timex HRM and says it works fine. So maybe I'm using it wrong. For me, using the Timex HRM is not intuitive.

No it is not wireless, It has a cadence sensor that needs to be mounted near the pedals that is wired to the control head.

I have mine on a 56cm road bike. As to the maximum distance, I don't know. My transmitter is located on the rear wheel with the computer on the handle bar. It works perfect. I have held the unit at least 4' away and it still recorded. Don't forget that this is digital and not a analog. Hope this helps.

Yes, at least with my router. I tried moving the transmitter as far as 20 feet away and it was still a problem. It even interfered with my 2.4ghz wireless keyboard.

I have both the BT 4.0 "smart" speed/cadence and heart rate monitors, they work simultaneously. It's up to the app to pair them. Runkeeper MTB just had to "unpair all" and re-discover to sync them the first time; Endomondo recognized both inmediately.

Electronics will not interfere with this device. I did however take the collars off simply because the transmitter was close to the water bowl and they wouldn't have been able to get to it. When I still lived with my parents, the collars were on 24/7 and there was never a problem.

I don't have this particular product, but I have another microsoft wireless keyboard. As far as interfering with your wireless network, I wouldn't worry. This is not a high bandwidth device, so even if it did interfere with your wireless transmission, you are not likely to notice any significant changes. You are more likely to notice it in the other direction -- that is, wireless network interfering with your keyboard. That being said, Microsoft has a pretty solid lock on stable wireless technology. Xbox 360 controllers and their wireless keyboards and mice are pretty resilient to interference. They must have some kind of buffering built into the devices themselves and some way to verify transmitted data like the Transmission Control Protocol does on the internet. Whatever it is, it works. And this is coming from a guy who sees interference in my Logitech mouse from my wireless network. Not with my Microsoft keyboard though.

try cyclegear, that's the same Bluetooth used in there Bluetooth helmet. hope that helps

I currently use it with my Strava app with Bluetooth at the same time I am running Ant+ with my MapMyRide app. The data has been consistent and reliable using Ant+ with while road cycling and Trainer cycling. I am not sure if compatible with gym machines. I hope this helps.

It should be noted, however, Wahoo had to send me a replacement Blue HR sensor as I could not pair the HR to my new 5S. I give Wahoo's tech support 5 Stars as they sent me a replacement (at NO additional costs to me) in record time. One final thought... in light of the multiple BT sensors paired to my 5S, the 5S' battery drains in about 3 hrs. of actual ride time. Safe cycling

No. I recommend you get the RFLKT plus. It is small, attached to your bike and will sync your speed/cadence, HR, Power and any other sensors you have through ANT+ or Bluetooth.

No. There is no interference with mine. NOTE, however, that the GPS location described in the specs does NOT work. The manufacturer said they couldn't afford to include it at this price but they put it in the specs and send a GPS antenna with it. My antenna is installed and that does not cause any interference with the radio either.

I have zero actual engineering knowledge. I believe it has no radio frequency output, that only comes from the router. The power consumed by this unit is not that great so I would doubt it is not like being near high tension wires. Unless you have a pacemaker, I wouldn't worry about it. Even if you do have a pacemaker, I still doubt it's an issue. But if you are worried, contact the manufacturer and learn about what standards they suggest. Then contact Verizon and see if the ONT exceeds the standards.

No! if you have a wireless mouse plug the transmitter/receiver into one of the USB ports on the computer!

Scott, all sensors for this product are wireless. Speed/Distance, Heart Rate, and Cadence. Mine Speed is mounted on the rear of the bike and it is working perfect so far... I purchased the Cadence, didn't arrive yet but I believe it will perform good as well... Heart Rate monitor is working good too, and it worked also when my wife went swiming ina pool.

anything that you plug into this thing is transmitted through radio waves. my bike is ten years older. The newest thing yet to come is allowing rival manufacturers to allow rival companies to use their frequency for communication. do you have a cassette adapter? If so, you don't need sierra, if not, sierra is the only one. either way, you don't need sena

I have not tried it, but I think it would work when riding your bike since the SPEED, PACE are GPS controlled, the HRM is band/transmitter/signal controlled and CHRONO is time controlled. I do not know at what rate it discharges with use and if it would last a whole, let's say" 100 or 125 mile bike ride of 5 to 7 hours. I only use the system for running. I have (actually, had, since it was a POLAR damaged by water) a heart rate monitor and a bicycle (not wire-less, not GPS) "ol" reliable cyclo computer when riding the bike.
