I have a Vetta HR100 heart rate monitor. Every now and then, it gives really high readings. I;ll be surprised when I look down and it's showing over 200 when I'm hardly working. I KNOW my heart is not beating that rapidly. This seems to happen with some jerseys more than others and perhaps on windy days. Has anyone else had this problem?

I think the erratic readings comes from radio frequency interference. My HRM gives unreasonable readings or no reading at all when I pass certain places (i.e. railroad tracks, fire station, etc.)
