Have any of you had your HRM cross signals with someone else's in a race or a group ride? I got a Polar S150 for christmas and an extra coded chest strap, so I'm wondering if I could have the coded strap sent back to save my parents some money.

Thanks in advance.

I think they're all coded theses days. I never have issues in a large group.

High-tension wires, trams, police radios, mobile phone towers etc.....that's a different story. :D

+1 on the high tension wires. I recorded both my highest heartrate
(over 210bpm) and highest speed (118mph) crossing under high tension
wires. I can assure you that I neither died of heart failure or broke
the land speed record. Never had a problem with my Polar when riding
in groups, even as large as 8000+ (hotter n hell).
