PT not recognizing HR

Quick question for those that may have come across this issue...

When I'm riding I can see my HR on the display, however when I download my data into WKO I can only see sporadic HR data.  If I look at the raw data, it seems that my HR is only recorded up to ~127 bpms.  If my HR goes above that level, HR data isn't recorded at all.

Weird, right?

Is this something I have set up wrong, or is my PT just flaking out on me?

Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi Aaron,

    Did you ever get this figured out?  I had a similar problem with the Garmin 305 HR last year on bike rides.  Data afterward didn't show HR over about 120; and I'm no where near that fit!

    I finally traced it to a combination of two things: low battery in the HR chest strap *AND* interference/proximity to a Jabra bluetooth headphone system I use on rides.  [The Jabra bluetooth receiver thing hangs around your neck on a chain and the earphones plug into that so your phone/MP3 player can sit comfortably in the seat bag.]

    I'm now having a problem with HR not registering at the PT computer at all.  I changed batteries and did the "learn" function but no go.  Looking for solutions brought me to your question.  I'll keep looking.

    Cheers,

    Brian

    Have you tried following the video? I've had to do this twice this OS.

    Matt is the MAN!  That was just what I needed.

    I thought I'd done that already with the "find" function, which the manual seemed to say would find the HR.  I followed the steps in the video and it worked perfectly.

    Thanks!
