Okay, I've asked about HR stuff before, but after doing a lot of reading on models (often with not enough info!), I want to focus on exactly one thing - what is the best HR monitor more minimizing the problem of electrical interference? As I've used my present system, I'm finding too many places where it seems to mess up my readings. For one thing, it makes the "max" HR pretty much undependable.
I guess any wireless system will have some problems, but surely some have a better design than others.
I saw a comment somewhere about Timex using an FM system, but it wasn't clear if that was actually better.
I haven't decided whether or not to go with the monitor as part of a computer or as a separate unit, so feel free to cover both. If it is part of a computer, I think I would want the other items (speed, distance, cadence) to be wired to take care of interference on those things. But HR with wires would be a hassle (assuming they even make them).
