It doesn't apply to servos.
It refers to which way the transmitter shifts the outgoing signal.
Any servo that can plug into your (anything) receiver should work.

Right. You can use Hitec, Futaba, JR, Airtronics, FMA.... Pretyy much any servo will work.
If you use Futaba, there's a little tab on the side of the connector that has to be sliced off. Easy to do with a a razor knife.
Be careful of the Airtronics though. I believe the older ones had the wiring laid out differently.

George; your manual MIGHT tell you if it is positive or negitive shift... but the question is why would they?
They have just sold you a complete system that works together - how; is not important to you.
IF!! you buy a computer radio that you can ADAPT to other systems, then then have to tell you what their shift mode is and how to adapt the transmitter to your "other" receiver(s.)
To understand the difference is really simple... just pull back on the elevator stick your system makes the plane go up, the 'other' system will make it go down... you need to make your transmitter speak to the receiver in a manner that it understands.
Usually it's just a switch - but you have to find it, turn it and understand it.

[link=http://rchelibase.com/radiofaq/#What_transmitters_and_receivers_work_tog]This link[/link] should give you a little more info. If you look, not scroll, halfway down the page, it talks about the differences slightly. For even more info on how the entire radio system works, check [link=http://www.velarc.com/radios.htm]this[/link] place out. Some good info.

RE: could you tell me what this means?
ive always wondered.. couldn't there be a frequency board for positive shift and one for negative shift since they arent compatible with each other? then there would be less people waiting for their channel to clear

Electrifan, all you're saying is that you want more channels. Having a difference between positive and negative shift channels really has no impact towards channel usage. I'ts still not possible to use two radios with matching shift patterns on the same channel. Regardless, only one radio can be used safely on any one channel at a given time.

Yes, even though the shift is different, they still broadcast on the same base frequency. It would still cause the radio to lock up. Thats why only one person can use a channel at a time. If it didn't have an effect, then people would be flying like that now.

Electrifan,
rb is right, even though you can't control a "negative" shift receiver with a "positive" shift transmitter, the two will INTERFERE with each other.
