KSP1, Both DLCs, A bunch of mods that CKAN says are for this version - Where are all the comms stations on Kerbin?

[Fadamor]

I somehow regressed. At one time, I had no problems controlling unmanned craft out of visual sight of KSC because there were stations all around Kerbin for the probe to communicate with. I restarted and now I only can talk with KSC. "No problem," says I. "I'll set up a relay network around Kerbin." But I get blocked during launches, and when trying to circularize relay satellites because KSC has zipped around the other side of the planet. How do I get back all the comms stations around Kerbin?

Isn't that a difficulty setting?

[Fadamor]

That could very well be! Thanks!

Ugh. The entire CommNet section of the settings were turned off. That should fix it.  Thanks again!

OK, I'm stumped again. I've set the radio button, applied the change, accepted the changes, and saved the settings, but when I go into the Tracking Station nothing has changed. When I go back into settings I'm right back to the way it was before: The "Enable Comm Network" radio button is unchecked.

I'm giving up for the night. No matter how I try different sequences, actually going into the Tracking Station loses the Comm Network setting. I've even saved, then restarted the game. No joy.

Figured it out. The Remote Tech mod was locking "EnableCommNet" to FALSE. Uninstalling Remote Tech solved the problem.
