vb6 to pic basic

[Darrenmac]

No this is not a max232 in the circuit, just direct connect, I have not tried any other baud rate (this is the default in the radio and works fine with simple vb6 program

Well, if there's not a max232 in the middle, then you might be back to the 5v serial comm not being enough to drive the receivers inputs, which might want the +12/-12v that a real rs232 serial port would give you. The PicBasic code looks fine to me, no errors I can see. Hope this helps in some small way.

Thanks for that but I have found that using a 10MHz crystal I had the fuse bit for XT set instead of HS. Thanks to Charles in another thread that I picked up on my mistake.

DOH! Good find...you're not alone on that one!
