My guess is it’s due to the antenna useage in the radio (4antennas instead of 2).
The other thing we’ve found is the dipole antennas do a better job than the monopole/coax ones so we’ve gone to Rex12s for our primary rx.
All of this may be irrelevant where you are but on something as nice as a 1/5 I thought I’d best mention it

The only possible issue with that is that if you're using a REX receiver outputting Ex Bus to a central box the PPM data from the clone or secondary is never sent to Ex Bus. Not sure if this works properly with a regular EX receiver or not but the REX receivers definitely don't pass the PPM stream from a dual path or clone receiver to Ex Bus, only servos attached to the primary receiver. The Assist receiver does pass the PPM data to Ex Bus at least for stabilized Ex Bus output. I'm not sure if a regular Ex receiver works properly or not in this regard.
To test for your self, instead of default mode, select dual path with a PPM secondary connected directly to the primary receiver. If you disable the Primary RF section servos connected directly to the primary will continue working (via PPM from the secondary) but a central box (or Cortex Pro) connected via EX Bus will stop working. It would be nice if someone could confirm whether or not this works properly with a regular EX receiver as the primary or not.
