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.
