Just noticed on Edge TX on my Jumper T18. I have special function that plays the value of channel 5 based on the designated 3 position switch . Channel 5 is my Gyro gain channel I fly helicopters. On Open TX it reports the value of Channel 5 output correctly. On Edge TX the special function plays the value of Channel 5 from its previous value. So it seems it is polling Channel 5 output before it changed . It not doing it on consistent bases.
