how to read PWM signal from RC receiver

AWOL:

The receiver makes a PWM signal for each channel (receiver output to esc, servo's and my attiny) from the PPM signal (receiver input).

Servos typically use PPM as their input, as do ESCs.
It simplifies the decoder in the receiver.
Your setup may be an exception.

Now I'm lost.

I have audio tester, maybe I'll measure it next week and know for sure.
