After poking around in the GitHub, I figured out why I was having so much trouble. Right now you need an attached beam generator set to the right wavelength in order to relay. Specifically, MicrowavePowerTransmitter.cs:681 was using the native wavelength which defaulted to IR since it isn't set for the FELA. This value was used in MicrowavePowerTransmitter:888 to become the only supported relay wavelength in MicrowavePowerTransmitter:908. Without attaching a beam generator there is no way to set the frequency for the relay, and it will default to the active relay dish's native wavelength, or IR if that isn't set. Attaching a UV beam generator got it functioning as a UV relay. What confused me at first was that the dish linked for relay was reporting that it saw 0/2 transmitters, but it looks like that value is nonzero only in receive mode so that part was working as expected. Thanks for the continued great work!

Thanks for the reply. I do have a second dish with relay mode activated, I just don't see any connections on the dish that is linked for relay. In the first screenshot I have one dish transceiver linked for relay and a second with relay mode activated. Both read 'Enabled: False' and neither allow for selecting the bandwidth to relay. Nearby receivers aren't showing any relay connections which is why I suspect my setup is not working. I just don't see what I'm doing wrong here.

Hi, guys. I'm having some trouble getting an beamed power relay system working using the extreme UV wavelength and was hoping someone here could point out what is going wrong. I have two transmitters on a low Kerbol orbit, which work great with receivers when I have line of sight. The issue I have is that whenever I select 'Link Receiver for Relay', my dish does not see any transmitters. Switching to receive mode immediately connects to the one transmitter in LOS. Am I doing something wrong here, or is this just a bug?
