Hi, BrianT:

probably you will be able to help me on this item:

I wrote a small program that reads some bytes of data coming from a radio receiver module. I do not want that the receiver program gets stuck in case the transmitter goes off for some reason. The receiver program is this :

SERIN PORTB.0,N1200,["COUNT"],W
SERIN PORTB.0,N1200,["ST0"],S_T.BYTE0
SERIN PORTB.0,N1200,["ST1"],S_T.BYTE1
SERIN PORTB.0,N1200,["SRH0"],S_RH.BYTE0
SERIN PORTB.0,N1200,["SRH1"],S_RH.BYTE1
SERIN PORTB.0,N1200,["WIND"],WND
SERIN PORTB.0,N1200,["IRR0"],IRR.BYTE0
SERIN PORTB.0,N1200,["IRR1"],IRR.BYTE1
SERIN PORTB.0,N1200,["VBAT0"],V_BATT.BYTE0
SERIN PORTB.0,N1200,["VBAT1"],V_BATT.BYTE1

If the transmitter goes off then the receiver locks up waiting for the "STRING". How could I overcome this problem ?

Thanks a lot for any help on the matter.
