Applications
Channel changers of this type were used in satellite ground stations and uplink/downlink equipment to select operational frequency bands across multiple Ku-Band channels. These mechanisms are found in SATCOM antenna control systems, broadcast uplink facilities, and telecommunications earth stations where automated or remote feed selection was required for different satellite transponders or frequency assignments.
This BEI 01238 Ku-Band Channel Changer (P/N 30-710460-001) was pulled from a working satcom environment where it was in active use. It has been inspected and appears to be in good condition. The housing shows some surface scuffing and minor marks consistent with field use, visible in the photos. Both Pittman DC gear motors and the encoder assemblies are present and intact. The D-sub connector shows no obvious damage. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
