    Default PIC not working at 20 MHz

    Don't forget that the configuration fuses are set before you load your basic code. You might have a PIC set for RC or slow speed (XT) to save power.

    To operate at 20 MHz you must set the oscillator option to HS in EPIC or whatever programmer you use.

    Check you @ device line and add the command for HS oscillator.

    Thank you Payatronico and Brian.
    I'm having a blank right now.
    What will that command for HS configuration be?
    Thanks again.

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Thank you all.
    I found the missing piece.
    I needed a hs_osc to my CONFIG line.
    Thanks again for your help.
