RowPro + PM4 + Polar heart rate monitor

[efagerho]

I'm evaluating which new HRM to buy. I have a PM4 and I'm thinking about getting a Polar Vantage V. It looks like the PM4 isn't compatible with new Polar heart rate sensors and all wrist based sensors I've tried were unreliable, so I would be using the chest strap during exercise. I noticed that Concept 2 sells a device that can be attached to the PM4 in order to use modern Polar chest straps.

Does anyone know if it's possible to simultaneously use the chest strap to measure HR for both the PM4 and the Vantage V while having the PM4 connected to RowPro? My understanding is that the device that allows a PM4 to be connected to a Polar chest strap is connected to the USB port on the PM4. Does the PM4 support being connected to a USB hub, so that it could be connected to both RowPro and the Polar chest strap at the same time?

I could of course try wearing a Polar and a Garmin chest strap at the same time, but I guess that would be less than ideal...

PM4 works with ant+ HRMs. Get Polar H10 which is broadcasting both in ant+ and BT. You'll be able to connect it to PM4 and Vantage watch.

Ditto....I use this on the PM4 in my work gym....connects fine and allows me to also connect the H10 to my phone via BT
