Default will pcm fix my problem?

i have a all metal q60 with a os91 cspec, tj govemer, 502 gyro, 9252 servos, 2000mah nimh batt, rd8000 with fm rx. i have had really bad glitching problems form the get go it was so bad i could not even fly it.
i went threw and made sure everthing was tight check all bearing put some ferites and the servo wires grounded the metal frame move the ant as far from the frame as possible changed the crystals. i did everthing i could think of. i have had three raptors before this and not one problem with glitches. i have noticed that even just sitting on the bench i am getting small glitches it seems to get better when i take the antana off the tx or touch the tx to thr rx on the bench when i move the tx from the back to the front it gets worse. it is a lot better now but it is still no gone can i use a pcm receiver now and not have to worry about lock out or what can i do to fix this.

i have tried two different tx and rx that i have and both setups do the same thing in the heli and it stops when i take them out of the heli. the heli is posesed. i seen to be getting the most interference by the motor and it is off.

PCM will reject some interferance, I have found that if you use servo extsions for the tail servo, it has caused glitches. Has the Rec been in a crash, have you have it serviced tuned?

No PCM will not help . Chk that the bats are in good condition as well as servos .chk servos one by one leave the rx and tx on take servo out one at a time also chk wires . you can try to fine an other place for the antana

Hi,
I have a Raptor 50v2 with the same problems, when I checked everything by changing one item at a time I found all my glitches to go away when I unplugged my JR8417 servo on my tail rotor. I replaced with a non-digital and no more troubles, I am going to send it back to horizon to have it checked, they are real good about service.
Good luck,
Boomer 2

everthing is brand new and check out ok if i take the receiver out away from the heli it is ok. i took the ant and shoot it strait out of the front and now on the bench the glitches are gone will i whip ant work if i just shoot it out of the front because i dont want this long one shootting out of the front.
