Jack the Kerbal Calculator

I found a bug I started a new career mode with remote tech, unmanned before manned, TAC life support and kerbal alarm clock. On my first mission, I found I couldn't transmit science. I had the communotron 16 on the ship but it said at the top of the screen I had no comms device. I looked online and couldn't find anyone with the same problem (apart from the one with the mod clash with science alert which I don't have installed). It could be a clash with one of the mods I mentioned earlier. Does anyone know (if it is a mod clash) what needs to be removed/updated or if there is a patch I can download to fix this?
