Just bought a Pickit 2, reckon my dodgy homebrew programmer might be a part of the issue, think i've been through 10 PICs in the last 2 hours keeps bombing the OSCAL value and toasting them, :-(

Damm, been busy this afternoon with the Pickit 2 and seems i still get the same issues, at least now i'm not killing Pics at a serious rate, even managed to recover some the winpic wouldnt read anymore.
Built a onboard glow this afternoon and its working 100%, the only difference between this issue and the onboard glow is that this one does not read / store the switch value, I'm working with hard coded values, :-(
Question, would powering the pic from a LM7805 (5v reg - giving 5.01v on the DMM) make a difference? all the others I power from the Rx, this one i've decided to use an external battery regulated down, still using a cap on vdd and gnd.
