Default Older ESC's with 2.4 ghz

I had a problem with my Electrifly SS-25 continuously beeping when it was installed in my new Airtronics 2.4 system. Electrifly Tech Support said to check with Airtonics.
Here's an interesting reply from Mike at Airtronics Tech Support.
"I have not used that esc with our system. However there are many older esc's that will not work with 2.4GHz radios.

Some major brands (I won't name names) had to quietly redesign ALL of their aircraft speed controls to work with 2.4GHz radios (not just ours, but their own proprietary brands)

The frame rate is much different on 2.4GHz and many esc's simply cannot work with that type of signal.

But, there could be other settings that are causing the problem that are simple to solve. For example, you may need to reverse that channel and/or turn up the EPA for throttle.

I tried Mike's suggestions but to no avail. Guess the SS-25 will be relegated to my older 72mhz system.
