I responded with PCM because the majority of my receivers are PCM. I am gradually converting to 2.4 but fly both at my home field because we don't have interference problems. I would ask that you expand your choices to include those of us that fly both 2.4 and PCM/FM.

I responded with "use spread spectrum" since my most recent receivers have been this. Most of my planes are still wearing FM radios, though. I agree with the above, there should be a choice of using more than one. At this time I don't see a real need to give up my FM radios immediately just because something new came along. Yeah, the new stuff is nice, but none of them are perfect.

Your old FM will still work fine, and if you have several receivers for it, you may want to stick with it for a while.

But if you only have one or two receivers and you're considering an upgrade, by all means go with 2.4GHz.
