Yes, actually the 9C works as regular Fm or PCM. You select either mode. The 9CHP and 9CHF use the same transmitter, just the receiver that comes with system is different. I have a 9C transmitter and use it on both FM and PCM. Got PCM rec in heli, and FM systems in 6 airplanes. So far I really like the system, easy to program and very flexible. When you want to change freq just pop in another FP-TP-FM module. With the module you don't have to worry about lo and hi band tuning, its all done with module.
