Default PPM or PCM ???

Hi Guys,

I'm in the process of researching for a computer radio system and am in kind of a dilemma.This will be my first computerized radio after the 4 YBF that came with my Nexstar.Now, I understand that PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) goes into a lock out mode where it goes to a pre set programmed position when it encounters some sort of interference and that PPM (Proportional Pulse Modulation) gives you some control with violent movements of the servos when interference occurs. I understand that PCM sends an exact code while PPM might be a little bit off.
I got a lot of information from this site http://www.torreypinesgulls.org/Radios.htm, but i still can't decide which one is right for me. I have also found out that PCM is more expensive.

So which one?


Thanks,
Sean
