Thanks again Skimask, I have it all working now after using the hardcode you recommended. I never could get the encoder decoder section to work. Everything seem good now, been on it all weekend. I found a couple of errors after rereading the program over and over. Now I have a new question, how would I keep lets say portb.1 high on the receiver as long as I was pressing the button on the transmitter but portb.1 to go low if I release the button?
