Forerunner 965 HR Broadcasting issues

I've just got FR 965. Great watch, lovely screen. I've tested today a bike ride. Since I forgot my HRM strap, I've decided to try HR Broadcasting from the watch to my bike computer Garmin 1030 plus. It connected fine using ant+ and worked, however I experienced very frequent dropouts, to the point where sometimes it would drop like 5-6 times in a row. It would always come back, and sometimes it would last for like 10 min without drop out. Such a shame, because it seems like nice addition.

Used sensors:

Garmin Varia Ant+

Favero Assioma power meter dual Ant+

Bike computer: Garmin Edge 1030 plus

All of the hardware has latest firmware and software installed.

I've tried to re-pair\turn off and on to no avail.

Here are the graps:

I have the same issue when connecting to my iPad for zwift ride. Drops every few minutes. Annoying

Any fixes yet?

I've found the issue since. I've connected the sensor using BLE connection instead of ANT+. It then work without drops. When you search for the HR sensor look for the GarminForerunner 265 HR instead of the one with a number and it will make a BLE connection.

Unfortunately I can't find two different connections through iPad. But setting broadcasting in a exercise mode (instead of setting it directly in the menu) seems working without drops. I will test more later
