"Slight inaccuracies" is an understatement. The rate of pulses for the Talon can be as fast as 3ms. I don't know for sure what the upper length of the period is, but I'd guess 50ms or more.

Within a wide range, the rate of pulses (the reciprocal of the period) doesn't matter to the Talon (or the Vic or the Jag), since they are decoding the length of the pulse, not the % duty cycle.
