In KSP 1.2,Squad added CommNet.You now need to have an antenna to send back science and to control probes.This is a guide to antennas and picking the best one:

Indeed, that's a really nice, informative table... which is presumably why it got put on the wiki in the first place.  :wink:

Thank you for your efforts, I can tell you're trying to be helpful.  Simply replicating KSP wiki content here, however, doesn't really add anything-- and it's likely to get obsolete even faster than the wiki does.

If someone wants to know about the behavior of the stock antennas, the best thing to do is to go straight to the source and get it off the wiki.  On the other hand, if someone wants to discuss CommNet, antenna power, etc. in general, best to have a thread specifically for that purpose.
