2 Pieces one marked “Failsafe Memory” the other “EEPROM Memory”DIGIFLEET PCM 7 CHANNEL 35MHZ RECEIVER EXCELLENT CONDITION COLLECTIBLE

Good condition, used.

Digifleet PCM a vintage, British-made Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) radio control system produced by Fleet Control Systems in the 1980s. These 35MHz systems were highly regarded for their robust performance and were utilized for radio-controlled aircraft and helicopters.
The PCM technology allowed for improved signal integrity and glitch reduction over standard FM equivalents, though the transmitters relied on early computer-style programming without a digital screen. Because these systems use older hardware and limited failsafes (e.g., roughly a 1-second failsafe period), hobbyists today often convert them to modern 2.4GHz frequencies or keep them as collectibles.
Core Features & Technical Details
  • Failsafe: The Digifleet PCM featured a 1-second failsafe period. If the signal was lost, it would hold the last known good position or move servos to a preset failsafe condition (e.g., cutting the throttle) to protect the model.
    Frequency: Originally operated on the 35 MHz frequency band common for RC aircraft in the UK and Europe.

    Programming: These early computer radios were quite complex to configure. Without a digital screen, some systems required you to use a multimeter to check the voltages and make specific adjustments.

    Servos & Compatibility: The systems often used proprietary Fleet plugs, though many users have retrofitted them with modern 2.4 GHz RF modules or adapted the classic servos (such as the FPS 17) to work with contemporary transmitters.
