Trying to inch my way to the finish line w/ a 16F1829.........

Hi,
2) That's probably because you're using SEROUT while you have interrupts stealing time away from in in the background. SEROUT is software timed, if you have interrupts firing while SEROUT is executing its timing will be off causing baudrate errors. The 16F1829 does have EUSART, you'll be MUCH better off using it (with HSEROUT for example) instead of SEROUT!

I figured it was something like this. I assumed it had to do with the ASM interrupts because through playing with the numbers, I found:
Faster Clock = Less errors (expected)
Faster Baud = Less errors (not expected)

I then had the hypothesis that there were "time holes" my serial info was falling thru. Faster clock = smaller holes = less char lost. And faster baud = more info makes it thru beween the holes = less char lost. It did baffle me at first, that lowering the baud made it way worse. I had to drive around at work thinking about it for several hours before it hit me what was happening... lol
