You can use digital servos on some FM receivers. Horizon's JR technical
support says they work with some receivers but not all. Call and they
can tell you which ones work.

This must be a JR specific issue.

RE: PCM reciever and standard servos?

The same servo positioning output comes fromt he PCM RX as from the PPM RX.... The difference in the digital vs the "standard" servo comes AFTER the position desired is determined.

Plug 'em in... they work.
