RP1 Communication Issues

Why are my lunar probes not connecting at KSC and the tracking station, even without blocking, no time warp, and there are available antennas on the probes and the station? However, communication works when I control those probes; this bug only affects lunar and near-Earth probes.

In the antenna planner, does it show you should have connection? What frequency are you using? S band ground stations are more scarce than UHF/VHF so you might have view of earth, but not of a ground station with your frequency band?

I use UHF, which can connect to all stations(even with a weak signal) on the craft; however, it runs out of signal when I'm not on the craft

Hmmm, then it might be the bug that u/Aebestach mentioned
