Well, I took a chance on the new PT 2.4 and so far the experience has been less than 100% positive. My first ride with the unit was this past Saturday and over the course of 3.5 hours, I experienced 24 signal drops of 5-15 seconds per each. After speaking with Saris on Monday, I tried new batteries in the CPU and hub, but all that did was increase my investment by $16.
My 2.4 is now on the way back to Saris and I'm giving them one chance to fix the problem. While the issues could be worse, I want and expect a 100% functional and reliable unit for the investment that I have made.
I'll post a follow up once I get the unit back from Saris. Their customer service staff has been great to deal with; I hope the Saris tech staff follows suit.
