[NSRCA-discussion] GWS Servo/Transmitter Tester/Tachometer

[Ron Van Putte]

If I understand your question, the answer is "yes".

It also is supposed to measure the pulse width out of the transmitter  
for up to nine channels, but it requires an optional "transmitter  
signal cord", which appears to have a servo connector on one end and  
a stereo headphone connector on the other end.  No clue as to how  
it's wired.  I sent a query to the MT-1 thread on RC Groups, asking  
which transmitter signal cord is used with which transmitters and am  
awaiting a response.
