Thanks Paul - although I’m not exactly sure what that means. However when I look at how I’m paired, as it pairs automatically, it registers as paired with ant+ FE-C. So the latest is that I’ve shut the mac down completely, rebooted, turned off bluetooth and used ant+. I connect just fine, but again zero resistance. When I’ve been connected with BT via my mac, resistance works just fine. However, it is almost never that the mac connects with BT so I cannot count on BT - thus the ant+ purchase.
So here’s were I’m at with all 3 devices:
iPhone: works 100% no known issues
iPad: apple guys tell me it needs to be worked on…waiting for a moment to run over there.
Mac: Connecting with ant+, no resistance. Almost never connecting with BT, but when connecting with BT, works great.
