• Q. Is the Eclipse system capable of using PCM?

A. As of March 2003, the Eclipse is capable of Q-PCM. Q-PCM is Hitec's proprietary PCM encoding which will give the Eclipse quicker response when compared to other PCM systems available. To use Q-PCM you must use Hitec's Q-PCM receiver #27372.

Hitec is providing two upgrade options to existing Eclipse owners.
1. Upgrade only: The cost is $24.95 plus $5.95 shipping and handling.
2. Upgrade with new Q-PCM receiver and crystal: The cost is $99.95 plus $5.95 shipping and handling.

To obtain the upgrade, send the transmitter to Hitec Service. Sales tax may apply in some states.
