Every synchro I have is rated for either 28 or 115 volts AC at 400Hz.  No
commercial flight simulator I've ever seen drives a real synchro on DC.
They way they're wired precludes them from producing a correct signal on
DC. (DC has no sine wave, which the synchro manipulates or is manipulated
by)  If it's working on DC, then it's not a synchro.
