New to giant scale. Need to know some spec on radio stuff. How many servos will work off of 1 6 volt PCM radio system????
Is ther a need for noise traps on 36"and 48" servo extension when using a PCM radio?????
Thanks for your help.

The short answer is . . . as many servos as you need to get the job done adequately. You may have to use a separate power buss to feed the hungry servos, though.

PCM is the method of encoding used in the link between the Tx and the Rx, not in the link between the Rx and servos, so yes you may need to take measures to 'de-louse' your servo signal leads.
