*Another configuration would be to set all three Cheltons to read the Pinpoint as prime and the Crossbox as secondary, and have a selector switch to choose the source. Normally all three would use the Pinpoint, much as I have now. If the screen were to go blue then I would throw the switch and feed all three from the Crossbow. Any reason that this would not work? *

That would work until the crossover switch fails. Your switch now becomes a source of single point failure. Considering the fact that there is a strong indication that your present problems are wiring related, adding more wiring is not the best path to be heading down.
There are other issues as well:
* I am not sure if the software is going to just start talking in a different language if the Pinpoint suddenly gets replaced by Corssbow or vice versa. * The device that you are not monitoring is not getting any aiding information.
* You have no idea if the device you are not monitoring is actually working, when was the last time it actually worked, if it has intermittent failure problems and if so, how frequently it fails.
