Hi Mark, I would have thought these details would be the likeliest explanation, too?
It`s not to suggest that barometric pressure couldn`t have an effect also, just not my first thought, more especially if it`s a long term behaviour as I thought Wayne`s monitors exhibited (or maybe I`ve misunderstood him over the last year or so) and it`s quite a rare occurrence that regularly gets mentioned?
