I've made this config for the Near Future Exploration antennas and probes. Probe cores have the default 3km omni antennae and I haven't made any configuration for the reflectors or the two feed antennae (F-DA & F-RA) since I don't know to have the range values calculated for RT. I did my best to balance range and power consumption to the existing antennae. The phased array elements act as directional antennae but with range slightly above omni antennae and wide cone angles. The complete phased array parts have range on par with the mid-teir dishes, wide cone angles, fast transfer rate, but very high power use. // Configure all probes for NFX

understand how config loading works.
