Hi,
I haven't looked that close at your code yet but have you tried putting the logic analyzer on the UART output of the PIC to verify what it is actually sending? Perhaps there's some baudrate issue, some problem with a USB-COM dongle (if you're using one) or something else on that side of equation. On the other hand I see you're outputting rdy at the start and I expect that to display properly. What if you change that to Ready! does it still display properly?

You could always try:
Code:
RCSTA = $90   ' Enable serial port & continuous receive
TXSTA = $24   ' Enable transmit, BRGH = 1
SPBRG = 130   ' 9600 Baud @ 64MHz, -0,02%
SPBRGH = 6
BAUDCON.3 = 1 ' Enable 16 bit baudrate generator
