They say, "It (the spike relay) can not be connected to an R/C hobby type receiver".

Then lower in the specs they say, ---- "Control Signal:Hi: 3V min @ 4mA; Lo: open or ground."
Given the context, when they say "It (the spike relay) can not be connected to an R/C hobby type receiver" I believe they are simply emphasizing that the Spike input is not PWM.
