I still have to ask, why bother. Adding all kinds of junk without fully understanding the system and the failure modes you're trying to deal with just adds expense and rarely works as expected. The bottom line is you either trust the Cortex Pro to work properly or you don't. If you trust it then there is no need for extra junk to try to deal with the Cortex Pro failing. Just install it as recommended with both receivers directly connected to the Cortex Pro. If you don't trust it to work properly, why in the world install it in your airplane in the first place?
Same goes for the 900Mhz link. It can be of great value for dealing with the situation it was designed to help with, interference on the 2.4Ghz link. For a Cortex Pro failure, not so much.
Personally, once the Jeti Assist receivers are available, I'm not sure I see much value in the Cortex pro anymore if you're using a Central Box. Seems far easier to simply use an Assist receiver directly connected to the Central Box and eliminate the connections associated with having an additional unit between the receivers and the Central Box.

No we do not have final approval yet, we have pasted tests and we are still in the process of certification.
Our first batch of Jeti DS-24 has been produced and shipped to us. Looks like radios will be sitting here for few more days till we get the sticker. Unfortunately hurricane IRMA set us back by few days.

Can you advise if there is an issue with one of the tests, as in this post it sounds like the test is through but in one of your more recent posts you mention a 72 hour period and hopefully a difficult and expensive test will be over, fingers crossed.
i really do appreciate the transparency shown and you are giving us more info than any other radio company would provide its customers. But just reading between the lines (possibly incorrectly) Are we looking at some delays that may run us past Xmas?
If so, hey stuff happens and will continue to wait but as we entering our summer in Australia will need to get some kit on order before the Xmas rush, to ride through the delay. I am also making an assumption here that our testing (Australia) is some how linked to the USA certification... which is in itself a little odd as I would have thought we would have been closer to Europe
where some radios seem to be flowing.
thanks in advance,

Unfortunately yes. There will be just one difference, radio will shut down when the charger is attached.
But this requires hardware change.

It’s a fight…. Unfortunately after spending the last two months and thousands of dollars we came to the conclusion that we are not able to pass the FCC certification for the long awaited DS-24 transmitter at this time. While we have passed 98% of all requirements we are not able to satisfied all of the tests. While the radio is approved and functioning very well on the European market and the rest of the World, it will require a slight hardware modification in order to satisfy FCC strict requirements. We have the solution, but this hardware change will require some time. We are expecting additional 4-6 weeks delivery delay for our North American customers. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience we have caused to our loyal Jeti customers.
Here is what Jeti USA is ready to offer:
1) We will work with you on a case by case basis to satisfy your needs
2) We can offer 10% discount on any existing DS-16 Radio
3) We can lend you a brand new DS-16 radio system to you keep you flying. Play with it until you get your DS-24.
4) For those who don’t need a loaner radio to get by, we would like to offer a $100.00 Gift Certificate for your inconvenience

Not sure why people think that because the DC24 and the DS24 run the same firmware that has anything to do with one passing FCC certification and the other not. This is a hardware issue and the DC24 and the DS24 have lots of differences with completely different board layouts different transmit antenna placements, etc. Small changes in ANYTHING internally can have HUGE impacts during certification. The DC24 passed FCC and there is no reason to assume that anyone "missed something", the DS24 didn't and needs a minor change to pass. It's as simple as that.
