No Comms....

[FizzerUK]

Hi,

 

Can't figure out why I have no comms...

Screenie attached.

I am using remote tech but as you can see all looks good?

Have power, have line of site, pointing at Kerbin, connection is there but transmitting crew report states ' No comms devices on vessel'

Sorry if I am missing something obvious but this was fine on the last mission which was a fly by of Mun.

This minmus mission I can not transmit.

Do I need a relay network once you get as far as minmus to transmit data?

Cheers for any help

I would check LOS to Mission Control... they may be on the far side.  so a relay setup may be necessary?

Thanks for suggestion

LOS is there..

Remote tech says 'Status OK'

If I spin time forward it changes to 'No Line of sight'

Just brought it back and I started to get connection past Mun orbit..

It's like the antenna has no range but it should be easily enough for Minmus orbit.

I don't understand....

How about targeting Kerbin instead (and make sure it's activated)?

Thanks @ToukieToucan Tried that also.

No joy. I have since recovered and re-installed MODs.

I am trying a Minmus trip again but with 4 SAT network in place first.

Recovering the vessel I did get comms past MUN, so maybe a dodgy install of a MOD, further testing required.
