Hello Mike, I did this program before I read the advice in the datebook. I did not have any problems up to now. Next time I 'll use BRGH = 0 ;-) Wolfgang ---------- Von: Mike Smith[SMTP:mikesmith_oz@RELAYMAIL.NET] Gesendet: Freitag, 5.

Microchip data says - "Note: At the time of this printing, the asynchronous high speed mode (BRGH is set) may experience a high rate of receive errors. It is recommended to have the BRGH bit cleared. If you desire a higher baud rate than BRGH=0 can support, refer to the device errata for additional information." MikeS
