Specifically, be sure to follow these steps from the manual FIRST:
TEACHING THE INPUT SIGNAL TYPE

( ! ) On each and any occasion that the input type is taught, this MUST be followed by the complete setup process, incl. mounting orientation and bank setups, as this step sets the unit to factory default state!
( ! ) The input signal type can only be set in this way, as described above. It‘s not possible to change or set it via software, as this is not necessary.

​​​​​​I missed this step the first time I tried to program a CP. You only have to do it once but nothing works until its completed.

Hi guys
I do have both receivers to ex-bus. The problem that I'm having is when i power on the transmitter and then the receivers with the gyro, i get the fast blinking BLUE but after it goes directly to Solid RED. I do not get the slow blinking blue so i can start the teach inputs.

Depends if you want the aileron function on the tailerons stabilized or not. I assume it's not necessarily needed, so go the first way.
No hesitation to correct this if there are other opinions

I have searched the thread but must be blind if it's here. Looking for the setup (wiring & config) of using two Jeti 2.4 R3 receivers (Pri & BU) into the CP and only one output for both receivers from the CP to the Central Box 200 primary RX slot so that I can use the 900Mhz backup into the Central Box secondary Rx slot by-passing the CP. Is that possible?

This set up is pretty much exactly as you described. The details being:
Primary 2.4 receiver connected to port B
Secondary 2.4 receiver connected to port A
RX1 of the central box connected to port 6
REX 900 connected to RX2 of the central box

Also, don’t forget the additional power lead from an open servo port on the central box to the cortex pro as shown in the manual connected to port 4

​​​​​​ no one uses the app at all? Just PC? I’m just curious if programmed using the app, is it the same as using the PC or if it’s missing some features?

Danny,

Thanks for the reply - I have it working without the 900 Mhz now and two 2.4's. So, I think I just unplug the CP to Sec RX connection and install the 900 directly into the Central Box Sec Rx port. I already have the "extra" connection installed as well from Central Box servo port to Port 4 on the CP. In this configuration, the two 2.4 Rx's have to fail before the 900 is invoked, correct? and the Jeti Tx can still keep track of which receivers is doing the "work"?

Can you explain if this is correct please?
