UART data corrupted

Hi,

I am trying to use the USART for UART communication on the CC1110f32. I am using the following code and I am receiving data on the other end as expected (every three seconds) but every time I receive the wrong character. Instead of receiving the character a (0x61) every three seconds I am instead receiving the character á (0xe1) every three seconds. I have tried different characters with the same problem and also the code sample UART_CC111x_CC251x_ISR.c which again had the same problem when connected to my computer.

I am fairly confident that everything is set up correctly and that I am using the correct baud rate on my terminal.

#include "hal.h"
#include "hal_types.h"
#include "hal_defs.h"
#include "cc8051/hal_cc8051.h"
#include "ioCCxx10_bitdef.h"
#include <ioCC1110.h>

void sleepMS(int ms) {
 int j;
 while (--ms > 0) { 
  for (j=0; j<400;j++) asm (" NOP"); // about 1 millisecond
 };
}

int main(void)
{
    /* Set function of P0_0 to general purpose I/O */
    P0SEL &= BIT0;
    /* Write value to pin. Note that this is a direct bit access.
     * Also note that the value is set before the pin is configured
     * as an output, as in some cases the value of the output needs
     * to be defined before the output is driven (e.g. to avoid
     * conflicts if the signal is shared with an other device)
     */
    P0_0 = 1;
    
    char ch = 'a';

    /* Change direction to output */
    P0DIR |= BIT0;
    UART_SETUP(0,9600,HIGH_STOP);
    while(1)
    {
        sleepMS(3000);
        UART_SEND(0, ch);
        P0_0 ^= 1;
    }

    return 0;
}

Thank you for your help,

Robert Nash.
