actually trust may not be the right word.
The are earlier posts on this thread about the way CB200 will still use Rx #1 even when there is significant interference and Rx #2 signal is good.
In my opinion this significantly reduce the value of using the CB200 versus other options.

Well it’s your opinion.....mine is the CB200 is perfectly fine....never had problems since 2013......flowns in 3D and jets....

I read those posts about the receiver priority and the CB200, I think it was around post #395. After considering all of the information I'm thinking the best option for "triple" redundancy using a CB200 would be to use a REX receiver for one input into the CB200 (Rx1), then plug an R3 into the REX receiver for redundant 2.4, then plug a 900mhz receiver into the Rx2 port of the CB200. Someone else on this thread has mentioned this option as well. The idea here is that the 2 x 2.4 receivers presumably switch back and forth better depending on which has the better signal(?), while the 900 MHz receiver will only take over if both 2.4 receivers fail. What I don't know with this setup is what happens to telemetry? Can I still get telemetry on all three receivers? Also, if I want to include a Cortex Pro in the mix what does that involve? Thanks for the help. - Tom

At the time it seemed as if the regular receivers made better use of the secondary receiver but after some testing by a regular poster over on RCG it turns out the regular receivers behave in a very similar fashion to the cb200 in this regard. I've heard that a new firmware for the cb200 is expected that will improve this situation but I'm not sure when or if that will actually happen. Even as it is, while not ideal, it's not the end of the world either.

I used the Cortex pro before and will again next season.....work fine.

telemetry will work the same with or without the Cortex....and 3 RX’s you just got more that you can select like the 900 voltage, signal ect....

Sounds like I just need to pick a configuration and go with it

I put a CB200 setup in one of my planes early this year and have been flying it with no perceived issues either while flying or viewing the telemetry. The CB200 as well as the standard receivers have been this way the whole time with very few issues as I understand it. It demonstrates that the backup receivers may not be as necessary as we all think they are. Obviously they aren’t or planes would be falling out of the sky. My current build i had planned a REX12A with a R3 as a second RX. But now I’m wondering if I even bother with the R3. I already have another R3 acting as a remote switch for the DSM10. . Maybe I just go with the REX12A and the R3 as the switch and call it good.

Don’t get me wrong when the firmware update or the new CB2XX comes out I’ll be looking to to update... but really, at least in my flying environment/installations the second RX doesn’t appear necessary.

I have done like this

rex3-20 clone mode into port a cortex
rex3-20 default mode into port b cortex (port b has telemetric)
cortex port 6 to rx1 on cb200
rex900 on rx2 on cb200

Hi,
Hacker has same servo model nr on their Ditex purpule servos so it should be same as the Jeti Ditex red servos:

TD0606M
https://www.hacker-motor-shop.com/Servos-Servo-Accessories/Hacker-DITEX-TD-Servos/DITEX-TD0606M.htm?shop=hacker_e&SessionId=&a=article&ProdNr=50000606&p=8216

TD0806MD
https://www.hacker-motor-shop.com/Servos-Servo-Accessories/Hacker-DITEX-TD-Servos/DITEX-TD0806MD.htm?shop=hacker_e&SessionId=&a=article&ProdNr=50000806&p=8216

One reseller here in Europe has the above Jeti red Ditex servos listed with specifications:

TD0606M

Is this a firmware update or new hardware? I hope it’s just firmware because I just bought 2 CB200 units in the past couple of weeks!

Is it already available on Jeti Studio?

Are there release notes someone can post?

Will this change how a Cortex can be hooked up?

Question Snow for Christmas ?

Just saw this on my DS24 before switching on, didn´t touch it for about 2 months.

Is this a christmas easteregg?

Edit: Seems that there are other things like these, depending on the date in the transmitter :-)
