Bottom line for me is, PCM goes into failsafe, never comes out. ...

Incorrect.

Ozzieflyer,

I don't think you read the report very well. It went to great lengths to dispel the opinion you've come to.

PCM is *clearly* far superior to PPM period. If you read everything that's been posted (including the link I provided) and you think about it logically it's clear that PCM is better. Even *if* PCM is no more resilient to interference at least the PCM failsafe can cut the throttle and could save someone's life! This ALONE is reason enough to use PCM. And BTW, PCM actually does deal with interference better than PPM.

BTW, from what I've heard the newer FM receivers that provide failsafe functionality by recognizing a particular TX's signal "finger print" are also very good options and an alternative to PCM RXs.
