Erroneous readings on wireless odometer
Long story short, my CM4.4A wireless odometer appears to pick up signals that cause it to read wheel revolutions that do not occur. I was parked outside a store today and saw my odometer reading between 80 and 110 mph. Is this typical of wireless odometers, do I have a lemon, are there ways to minimize or eliminate this pickup? On the third question, I am sure some appropriate filtering or possibly shielding would help, but modifying consumers electronics is typically not worth the time spent.
Anyway, curious to hear other folks experiences

I had a wired Avocet in the 90s that would sporadically measure excessive speed, ruining the average speed and distance data. Only solution I found was to replace it. I've never had another like it.
I've had 2 or 3 generations of the Cateye Wireless, my current one is the Strada, never had a bit of trouble with these even using a Magicshine headlight mounted only inches away. When the batteries get weak on these, they simply quit working - no erroneous data / weirdness.
