As far as I know, all digital servos are designed to work with modern radios. The 'digital' bit relates to programming the servo with the appropriate device, beyond that they work exactly the same with the receiver.

johnny1333,

Digital servos will work fine with your radio. They do not have to be programmed. They will work great right out of the box.

The reciever doesnt know or care if the servo hooked up has an analog or digital amplifier, if you are curious as to the difference read this http://www.futabarc.com/servos/digitalservos.pdf

They use a bit more battery power and will suck the battery dry in a hurry if you bind them so make sure your control surfaces arent binding or sloppy.

I think we all presume you have a FM radio, not AM.
