Default JR 8411 chatter

I'm flying several giant scale planes on a JR 8103 system with mostly 8411's. I got used to the "buzz" of big control surfaces on the 8411's, but also had some macroscopic movement, or "chatter", which is a lot more worrisome and translates into glitches in the air. Sometimes this seemed to go away when I switched out one brand new 549 (FM) receiver for another.

I spoke recently to a Horizon JR technical consultant who seemed pretty sure that my problems are because I'm trying to run 8411's off a 549 receiver, and that I should switch to PCM (649 receivers).

I've got a total of eleven JR 549 receivers, so the switch is gonna be a bit expensive, but I'm more than willing to do it if it solves the problem. Any opinions or first-hand experience? This "chatter" occurs even with engine off, and some of these planes aren't even gassers.
