I believe electric fences / home security/ wifi? causes problems too.

Does anyone have a HRM that never spikes?

I'm touching your pants.
Two sources of error that I have encountered that cause quick/huge spikes: 1) Poor connection of strap - for some reason it just starts going up up up. I always put a bit of hand lotion on the connections when it is dry outside. 2) I believe electric fences / home security/ wifi? causes problems too. There was a house I would run by and my HR would go from 150s to over 220 then falls again once I am past the area. Not sure but must be some sort of signal.
