There are two sets of antennas, 'cuz it's on it's side, the com software is stuck in an "antenna switching loop" it see's an antenna set doesn't have great signal so shuts them off and reboots using the other set of antennas, repeat endlessly. So there are short bursts of com, the trick is getting a patch uploaded to get the lander out of the switching loop, akin to grabbing a beer out of a spinning refrigerator, HaHa. They think they are close to doing that, stopping that looping, which should allow "decent" data transmission from ONE set of antennas.
