Default Pulse width, how do I know?

I need to know what the pulse width is on my throttle channel at full throttle and at minimum. How can I find out? The transmitter is an 18MZ on mode 1.

Thanks.

Futaba pulse width is the standard, 1.5 milliseconds plus or minus 0.5 milliseconds; i.e. goes from 1 millisecond at one extreme to 2 milliseconds at the other.

Thank you very much. I am using a twin synchronizer which requires a full-throttle pulse width of at least 1.9ms. It also requires the user to make sure that the radio is setup to provide that at full-throttle and not at idle.

Cheers.
