David,

For SERIN2:
4600 baud
without parity, bit 13 = 0 (see manual)
0000000010111100 = 188

with parity, bit 13 = 1 (see manual)
0010000010111100 = 8380

To enable 8 data bits with parity enabled, add this define at the top of your code. (see manual)

DEFINE SER2_BITS 9 ' Set Serin2 data bits to 8 when parity is enabled

This should work.

Good Luck,
