Hi,
Not sure if this helps but I had a Trex700X working with SPM 4649T 2 DMSX satellites and Hobbywing ESC telemetry all connected to a Spirit2. Transmitter was a Spektrum iX12. From Spirit I used a 'Spektrum multi-adapter','Jeti integration cable' and 'TELEM UNI cable' for the Hobbywing telemetry. All sats. bound OK and the heli flew well, but I was never able to reliably get the iX12 to produce the integration / text gen. Sometimes it would work, others not. I never found why, and didn't know/try the 11mS / 22mS settings.
Also, I was never happy with the way the iX12 dealt with telemetry (setup, manipulation and display). With the above setup I regularly got many Rx 'fades' reported but no holds, but the 'fades' surprised me as there were a total of 6 antennae, both at from and back of heli.
I had the opportunity to get a Jeti DS-12 and have been converting all my helis to Jeti/Spirit and am very pleased I did. Nothing to say the Spektrum setup was faulty but I was never really happy with the way it worked and produced info. Now with just 2 antennae (spirit RS or Jeti REX3 Rx), I get 100% signal quality. individual antennas do 'fade' occasionally, but the link seems so much better and the telemetry superb.
Anyway, as I say, this won't help much but it may be some comfort to know you aren't alone with the text-gen / iX12 issue. Now I have 4649T and AR6610T for sale if interested!

I was wrong not to buy a ds 12. it cost as much as the ix12. I should sell mine and lose a lot of money
Wherever I read Spektrum divides the waters.
has people who are very well and many others who have very bad experiences
there is not a high percentage of happy people like other Futaba brands or jeti, but there is a fifty fifty.
50 happy, 50 not happy
