<< <<I love my monitor too, they are invaluable!!!  I have a question for
those
 of you that use them.  I was starting to get really weird readings (like 237
 while standing), so I replaced the battery, and got new electrodes and
 wires.  Everything worked MUCH better, however, there are times where it
 still gives really wild readings, and it didn't used to do that.  Do I need
 to replace the transmitter - will that eventually wear out?  I've used my
 monitor for about three years.  It's gotten a lot of use.  If I reset it,
 off, then start again (it's the model with the hi-lo alarm), then I will get
 a correct reading.  
 
 I can't even say how much I have learned about my horses from using a HRM.<<

 Sometimes the placement of patches can make a gig differnce.  Try differnt
 locations and try differnet brands of gel..Some work better on some horses
 than others.  They can also do strange things in DOWNPOURS!!
