Failsafe and, perhaps faster or more solid signal handling were what I heard. Can anyone confirm this ability of a PCM receiver to ignore a PPM signal on the same channel?
It will "ignore" the PPM signal because it doesn't contain the PCM coded information that it's looking for. BUT - an interfering PPM signal can keep the desired PCM signal from getting thru, channel conflict is NOT "avoided", control is still lost (goes to failsafe, if set). Best case, if enough of the PCM encoded pulse frames do get thru (e.g., PPM signal sometimes weaker than the PCM), degraded (slowed response) control may be maintained (and may mask an interference or other RF link problem - not necessarily a good thing, particularly when doing a range check!). Some newer PPM Rx (Mpx, FMA, Berg, Sombra, others) use various signal processing techniques to achieve a similar result. Life isn't fair, there's no free lunch, Murphy was an optimist! Pray for the continued development/application to RC of "smart" radio technology (such as SS) to overcome dumass human abuse of available bandwidth! Good Lift!
