Ioannis...

I had defined the osc to 10, the problem was that at startup, the RFM12 only puts out a 1Mhz clock signal, and at that speed, it would not initialize the RFM12... Not exactly sure why.. I did some mucking around last night, and have now got it to start on 1Mhz, write to the LCD first, then initialize the RFM12. I'm not sure why but it did not want to do this the other way around.

I'm glad I am now making progress..
