Just blundering my way through the plethora of info out there. Am I right in saying that I do not need an "Ergstick" dongle with the PM5? Presumably because the PM5 has bluetooth functionality?

What's one of those?
PM4 & PM5 both have on-board wireless.

Re: Ergstick and PM5
it's one of these

Halfway down the page it says to use with it PM3 or PM$ (this inferring that PM4 does not have wireless or bluetooth), hence me asking to double check that PM5 would not need this?

PM5 has built in Bluetooth and ANT+ so no need for that stick.
The PM4 only has ANT+

Re: Ergstick and PM5
The PM5 has BlueTooth Low Energy (BTLE) which is not the same as BlueTooth.
For anyone with a PM3 or PM4 it would be better to sell the monitor on eBay and use the profit towards a replacement PM5. £90 (half the retail price of a PM5) for the ergstick is way over-priced.

Re: Ergstick and PM5
Thanks. Yes I thought that may be the case. I have a Model D1 with a PM3 monitor and plan to upgrade to a PM5 and will sell on the PM3
