Default RE: ok, getting confused...which Radio??

They are selectable for FM and PCM for all 9C's. The FM and PCM thing is really a big joke and just an advertising ploy. The ONLY three differences are:
the reciever in the box is what the transmitter is labeled as,
the transmitter is labeled differently if it's a PCM or FM (again, all 9C's can do both)
the transmitter defaults to the modulation type you see on the box.

The H and the P just have to do with the ratcheting on the throttle. One is smooth, one isn't.

Some suggested mods to the 9C (only if you want them):
Remove the ratcheting from the three knobs on the face by bending the metal tab that makes the clicking noise. The ratcheting reduces precision and it doesn't help. keep it if you like it.
Remove the ratcheting on the sliders by sanding off the tab that sticks out off the rotating part of the slider. If you look at the slider, you'll see a slit. Get a section of fuel tubing, and with some ingenuity, cut it so it fits in there, and the sliders on the side will be smooth like the 9Z and 10X.
