It works perfectly as far as I can tell but if there is a clear reason why it should be 17ms instead of Auto I'll go change it. As far as I can tell, this is setting the speed for the stream between the 2 receivers so I couldn't see any reason why they shouldn't be able to be set as auto but then I've been wrong before. Also, a while back someone posted a link to a document describing frame rate calculation based on the number of channels, the channel pulse width + some constant but I haven't been able to find it again. If someone has the link I'd appreciate it if they could post it again so I can write it down this time..
You can use auto if the servo can handle it and operate ok. But some servos won't operate at the faster frame rate so the servo be ones the limiting issue. If auto works use it
