Default FM vs PCM

Thank You Harry,


You've just stated what I was trying to say about pcm being more reliable than ppm. even though they booth will take the same hit pcm is better at handling the situation remeber the part about pcm sending 2 Boxes of information per channel? vs ppm.
PCM dosen't get rid of interference but deals with it much better....ie an enhancement to ppm. yes it hides the interference but if it isn't affecting your flying or range checking as it would in ppm then what's the problem? Really that's what it really comes down to isn't it? PCM dosen't glitch like ppm, that alone is a major improvement, what happens when you take say a 2 second hit on ppm? the servos glitch well past there intended limits causing the aircraft to become uncontrollable . PCM has a "last good signal hold" until it recieves another or goes into fail safe. suppose your in a low inverted pass when this happens.... ppm is into the ground for sure. PCM will continue on with the last good input(provided you don't go into fail safe) until it recieves another good signal. Face it.... PCM IS better technology. stop defending PPM like you invented it already.
