RE: FM Vs PCM modulation

60 degrees of travel, follow the 1st link to Futaba.

This is from thier website

What does it mean when you list a radio or receiver as PCM 1024?
The original PCM radio systems had a servo resolution that was 512 points on the 60 degree rotation. The newer equipment offers 1024 points, or a resolution two times better than the previous 512. Depending upon what model of PCM transmitter you own, it will be able to use EITHER 512 OR 1024, not both. So you need to know which type your radio uses. To make this easy, Futaba labels the face of the 1024-type transmitters and receivers with "1024".
