Thanks Dave,

I am currenty using the internal osc, as set by CONFIG FOSC = INTIO1 and it should be running at 8MHz by the OSCCON=%01100000 configs. In regards to the PLL, by switching it on - by either the PLLCFG or OSCTUNE, it enables the HSEROUT command to operate at the correct baud, but this results in the rest of the pic running at 4 times...
