Multiple Pods Cannot Connect to Network?


Recommended Posts

I've added two OKTO/HECS probe pods to my stack, one with a Communitron HG-55 antenna, the other a DTS-M1 antenna, both with battery power and solar panels, but when I separate them in orbit around Duna, only one of them will connect to the network (in a test launch, around Kerbin, they both connect, suggesting that the DTS-M1, which doesn't have the range of the HG-55, is not able to relay through the HG-55).

See below pics.

What am I missing?

"Dead" probe (at top of stack):

Hi, HG-55 is not a relay antenna.

For a Duna relay probe, with Tracking Station Level 3, you need 4x

or 1x

Thanks! I knew it must have been something simple!

I now have new "orbiters" equipped with RA-2 antennas around Duna and Eve that are successfully relaying previously dead probes.
