Default bec problem?

have a futaba 4pl
r2104gf receiver
ae2 esc
2 servos

everything connected and everything works
i added a castle bec pro
pulled the power wire out of the esc servo connection
plugged in the bec to the receiver in an open port

now the receiver stays red when turned on, if i push the bind button it blinks red
if i take out the bec from the receiver and put the power wire back in the esc cable it all works good again

what could i be doing wrong?

if all fails, i am thinking of running the dual outlets from the bec to the servos direct, and only leaving the signal channel plugged in to the reciever, but i dont think i should have to

any help appreciated

+1.

I REALLY HATE running an external BEC output through the RX. I MUCH prefer to run it direct to the servo/servos.

Futaba radios are not so sensitive on "ground noise" like Spektrum & others.
