This is interesting.

I'm reading here that using a whip antenna (effectively raising antenna higher off ground) or raising model 2-3 feet off ground will improve my radio range problems and/or is the proper technique for range checking.
The radio manuals never recommend raising model off ground for range checking at their recommended distances. I wonder why.
One Rep. told me switching from JR PPM to JR PCM receiver will solve my problems and I've sent the PPM back for an exchange. Will the PCM just mask my problem or solve it? My understanding is that the transient servo "jitters" I get will not occur with PCM although the loss of signal during that time, remains. I guess it's still better to have neutral servos during brief signal loss than dancing servos while flying at 150 MPH!!
