Yep, this was it. Thanks for the help!

https://imgur.com/a/15CooO9 Here's an image of my setup, including the various important windows ^ I have tried using the Long Infrared and D-band wavelengths, and while I don't know for sure I think they both work in atmosphere given that the receiver is getting power. In the picture I'm using D-band. My power station is positioned about 4km inland of the launchpad so angle shouldn't be an issue. I'm fairly certain that the engine is getting power since disabling the receiver causes the engine to shut down due to lack of fuel. Also, the engine slowly becomes hotter and redder over time which I think is a good sign. Thanks for the response!

Currently, I'm having problems using the inline thermal receivers on thermal engines. My current setup involves the Thermal Rocket Engine with hydrazine as the propellant. When I use a reactor, the engine works perfectly. However, when I connect the engine to a thermal receiver in place of a reactor I get no thrust even though the engine status displays as "nominal". My receiver says it is getting 150MW of power from my beamed power network and it shows the "Thermal Power" bar going up when I activate it as well. Any ideas as to what's going wrong? Thanks.
