Beastx binding..

[crash-test-tomo]

Hi all, little help needed.. Apparently if I cant just plug sats in and bind im not sure what im doing anymore lol
Recently bought a microbeast plus to get my 550 flying again, after remembering they have no sat ports I dug out the ar9020 rx that came with my dx9, presuming I can use this reciever?
I have wired the beastx and reciever as per the manual.
I am using the esc's bec, which plugs Into the rx along with the esc's throttle wire. On powering up and attempting to bind, im holding the button on the beastx to select DSMX and at this point I expected the rx and sat to light up/flash to signal being ready to bind?.. Instead I have nothing, the beastx stays lit or continues to flash but im getting nothing from the sat or rx?
I have tried this with the bind plug in both the beastx and rx with no joy, its almost asif the rx is not powered? Should I be running a separate power supply to the batt port of the rx? Or just to the batt port with the bec wires instead of the throttle port?
Someone help!! Haha
Cheers in advance guys

Probably better to power Rx first and rely on the connectors between the Rx and BeastX to power it.

Try binding them to the rx only first.
And then connect then to the micro beast.

I'm just having a guess.
But had to do that with numerous things before.

Cheers guys. I tried moving the esc wire to the batt port on the ar9020 (and removing all others) powered up and still no light from within the rx or in the sat?
Im only seeing a split second blink of light from the sat as I either add or remove power? Does this sound like a dud reciever or am I missing something? Lol
Iv sort of cheated for now and used the 2 inch long cable included to fit a single spektrum sat.. Its gotten the heli setup and flyable but id probably better get a second sat rx as its a 550?
