A couple of transmission questions.

[Themohawkninja]

1. I am trying to figure out what the new properties on the Communitrons actually mean, and all I can figure out (assuming this isn't just a coincidence) is that packet size * transmission interval = total throughput, but what do each of those properties actually mean?

2. Are there any positive or negative consequence (in terms of how much science you get) whether you hit the blue transmission button, or you wait and transmit all of your stored data in one long stream?

Each communicator has different communication times but more or less power usage, and it doesnt matter if you do a long stream of data or not. Hope this helps!

1. Check my find http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/53677-Antenna-thoughput-typo-or-my-misunderstanding

2. Hit the transmit button will try to find available antennas then try to find a idle one if possible. Right click on antenna to transmit will queue ALL data on this antenna and you can't cancel it (if you stop transmit, data will still be transmit the next time you activate it). So if you have many data, right click on antenna is not recommended (at current version, I think it will be improved, someday).
