Hi all,
Question: I use Roger's basic Polar monitor. Have had no readings
problems or anything like that. The long (offside) lead is the problem...
I cannot seem to get the wire to stay put. It disappears under the saddle
pad (towards the rear), and I am afraid that it will eventually pull out of the
transmitter. I have covered the billet strap w/a velcro strap to hold the
electrode. I have made a "tube" of elastic over my billet strap so I can run
the wire from the electrode thru this "tube" to hold it there, but from where
it goes under the saddlepad to where it comes out at the withers to go to the
transmitter is the problem. I use a wool felt pad w/a DeSoto Saddle.
Any suggestions are most welcomed and appreciated.
Charlene B.
