Polar USB Irda thingy to get my stats-fix off my Polar 725x
There's one on eBay for $75 is that reasonable or is there others or other ways to do this?
cheers

PS I have a spare 710i and (flat-battery) chest-sensor thingy and bike/speed sensor too if anyone is interested...
Dutchy,
You don't need to use the polar one, I got one for $50 new. But make sure it doesn't use the sigmatel chipset. Here's a post I made a while back on the subject or do a aus.bicycle googlegroupsearch for "sigmatel". I'd be interested in the 710i and bits. PM me if keen.

I had the same problem, and the answer was that the polar software will
not work with a USB infrared adaptor that uses the SIGMATEL chip. I took
mine back and bought a BELKIN. You can check the chipset in control
panel->system->hardware->device manager->properties
See this post on the forum at www.pursuit-performance.com.au

The only chipset we are aware of is the SIGMATEL; it appears in the
BAFO and SPIRIT devices (both appear nearly identical), that we know
of.
We have been using for test purposes, either a BELKIN purchased from
Harvey Norman or a similar device purchased from Jaycar Electronics
(the device manager reports the manufacturer as KC Technology, Inc.)
Both of these work with no problems with any "i" model plus mobile
phones etc.
Note. We have not heard of any laptop builtin IrDA ports not working
with the "i" models.
