RB-20 with ACCESS receivers

Let me say first that I have setup RB-20 with ACCST receivers in the past without problems.

Now, I am setting up a RB-20 with ACCESS receivers. I would like to use a SR10 as a primary receiver, and a R4 as a backup receiver in the tail.
Both Rxs are flashed with the latest firmware, and the RB-20 is flashed with the latest ACCESS firmware.

If I connect each Rx SBus-out to the SBus-in of the RB-20, and each Rx S.Port to the corresponding S.Port-in in the RB-20, everything works fine. I get
the telemetry from the Rx and the one from the RB-20 (voltages, amps, consumption,...), with a twist. Even when only one of the batteries is turned on, I still get a
non zero Amp reading out of the other, though the voltage is 0. This is the second option in the docx that comes with the ACCESS fw for the RB-20 (S.Bus in parallel, S.Port in parallel).

If instead I Y the Sports of the two receivers into the S.Port in 1, wire the S.Bus-out of the SR10 into S.Bus in 1 of the RB-20, and finally wire the S.Bus out of the R4 into the S.Bus in of the SR10,
I do not get the telemetry from the RB-20 (amps, voltages,...). This is the first option in the docx (S.Bus in series, S.Port Y-ed).

The reason why I would prefer the second option is that I would like to run the stabilizer. In the first option, the stabilizer would be used only if the RB-20 uses the info from the SBus of Rx 1. In the latter case,
even if the SR10 loses connection, if would fall back to the signal from the R4, but still stabilize it.

Am I doing something wrong?
 
Things work after re registering the SR10 with UID 0 and the R4 with UID 1. Things to know: not always the gyro telemetry from the SR10 is reported by the Tx. I suspect it depends on how
the radio decides with telemetry stream to report. I wish ACCESS provided telemetry from both receivers...
