Digital / standare Servo question (HITEC)

If you don't have a programmer for these HiTec servo's could that make a
difference in the resolution around center?  Like can you change certain
aspects of the servo's operation related to centering, I think they call
that adjusting the deadband.

I have been using Hitec digital servos for the past three years.  In my
Advantage I have used two 5625 servos (one on each elevator half), two
5245 servos (one on each aileron and one 5925 on rudder.  They have all
given me flawless service and seem to track and center as well as they
did when I installed them.

My flying companion, John Fuqua used  the same control surface setup as
mine on a Focus for two years.  When he retired the Focus this summer
in favor of a Temptation, he went with 5245s on each elevator half and
each aileron and a 5925 on rudder.  He is a better pilot than me and
can afford more expensive servos, but continues to use Hitec digital
servos.
