Radio Glossary

:: ATV – Adjustable travel volume / EPA – End Point Adjustment
Allows adjustments of the maximum servo travel to both sides of neutral

:: BEC – Battery Eliminator Circuitry
Allows receiver to draw power from the main battery pack, “eliminating” the need for a receiver battery pack.

:: DSC – direct Servo Control
Allows control/adjustment of servo functions without sending a signal through the receiver.

:: Dual Rates
Make controls more or less sensetive.

:: Narrow – Band
A radio with a 20 KHz band width.  Today this is not a feature on radios. If its not  a “Narrow Band” radio don’t buy it because it’s old.

:: PCM – Pulse Code Modulation
Digitally encodes the signal to minimize interference.

:: Servo Reversing
Reverses the direction of rotation of a servo.

:: SMT – Surface Mount Technology
What almost all electronic circuits are made of today. (Small components that are light weight and take up very little space.)
