Hi Dave Houston

Thanks million for the reply.

I have them even farther apart >3m
If I am closer I receiver more transmitted frames, as I move further so the number decreases.

I tried the same transmitter and receivers using your code as well but have no success when I use it but it does work when the two PICS are connected by wire !

I will most certainly try increasing or reducing the range...
and then update a little later :-)
I will also try your code using the PIC 12F629's as well

If you have any more suggestions I would happily try them and submit feedback

Thanks again

Dennis
