I understand the two types and what they do. But I have a question about combining them.
For the sake of clarity, lets say we have two made-up antennas with these properties:
Antenna 1
Type: Direct
Range: 99999999km
Antenna 2
Type: Relay
Range: 5 meters
My question would be, if I put both onto a satellite, would I then be able to Relay at 99999999km? Or would my relay capabilities still be 5 meters, irregardless of the direct antenna?
TLDR: If I have both relay and direct antennas and the direct antenna has a greater range, will the relay antenna adopt the direct antennas range? Or they are both totally separate?
