If you are keep sending the same charater all the time, and you doen't 
get the start right (Power on spurius), you can not be sure that 
receiver gets syncronised correct. It might see on of the databits as a 
startbit.
Try to put a delay in start of your code. Or in between characters.
Sending a 0xFF will allso bring the receiver in sync, because no 
databits can be confused with startbits.
