	Hi all, I'm laying out my first "pro-quality" PCB with a PIC24FJ64,
and have run into a little issue, but don't know if it's actually an
issue or not.=20

	In the spec sheet under External Oscillator Pins, it goes into great
detail about creating an isolating GND pour around the OSC, and that
this pour should be a separate entity from the "normal" GND pour that
many (most?) use across the whole PCB.  I've created this isolating
pour top and bottom, but I seem to have a problem with Eagle PCB in
that I seem to only be able to create one "GND" polygon per layer, so
can't do an isolation pour as well as a pour for the rest of the
board.  Haven't found any threads on this topic elsewhere.=20

	But the thing is, in any pictures I've found online of PIC-based
PCBs, no-one seems to actually be doing this isolating "ring".  So is
it really something I should be concerning myself with?  Or ideally,
does anyone know a way of geting multiple "GND"-named polygons on a
layer in Eagle?=20

	Thanks for any input=20

	Lee
