How do we communicate with space probes from so far away?

Not sure if I used the right tag but I saw something about a space probe from the 70s malfunctioning and spouting gibberish that nasa managed to repair, but how do probes that are so incredibly far away transmit data back to earth?

There’s nothing between us. So we just send radio communication, and use a very focused antenna listening to a very specific frequency
