Your question is unclear. Which voltage drops?

Did you set up the hardware correctly?

sorry about that.
i follow this circuit but i using 4 4.7uF connect with max232.
max232 tx output is 4.2V, but when i connect to PC serial pin 2 voltage become 0.3V only.
and PC serial pin 3 voltage actually is how much??
i using multimeter measure is -10V when connect with my max232 become -9V is it correct??

if the multimeter battery gone weak then it shows higher voltage, so batter you change the battery of the multimeter and see...

i use 2 multimeter to measure same value also too...
could the problem is about the capacitor value??
coz i using 4.7uF.
if i change to 10uF will get different result?

change the capacitor from 4.7uF to 10uF and check the code whether its working properly or not ........

just go through this post for serial transmission code

i connect with 10uF gt leaking voltage from max232

- - - Updated - - -

#define switch PORTB.F1
#define pressed 0

int i;
void main()
{
TRISA = 0xF7;
TRISB = 0xFF;
UART1_Init(9600);
Delay_ms(100);
UART1_Data_Ready();

while(1)
{
if(switch==pressed)
{

PORTA = 0xF7;
Delay_ms(100);


}
else
{
for(i=0;i<30;i++)

{
PORTA = 0xF7;
Delay_ms(100);
PORTA = 0xFF;
Delay_ms(100);
UART1_Write_Text(" ALERT!!!! ");
UART1_Write(10);
UART1_Write(13);
Delay_ms(10);
UART1_Write_Text(" HOUSE 1 ");
UART1_Write(10);
UART1_Write(13);
Delay_ms(10);
UART1_Write_Text(" THIEF BREAK IN!!!! ");
UART1_Write(10);
UART1_Write(13);
Delay_ms(100);

}
}
}
}

this is my code.
