Servo compatibility
I will be upgrading my transmitter radio to the JR6102 and will probably go with the 770 PCM receiver.
My airplanes currently have standard Hitec servos in them.
Will the 770 receiver be able to communiucate with the Hitec servos?
If not, is it a compatibility issue in the 3 wire connector (can they be resoldered so that v+ goes to v+, v- goes to v-, signal goes to signal)
or is there an issue with the pulse width (the analog output signal from the 770 Rx has a different pulsewidth and timing characteristic than what the Hitec servos expect to see) in which case, i will have to swap out the servos and install JR servos.
thanks.
Paul.

RE: Servo compatibility
The servos should work fine. If the hitec servos have a futaba style connector you may need to shave the tab off and bevel the corners of the opposite side of the plug.
