Applications
Range tone processors are used in satellite ground stations to generate precise frequency tones for command uplink verification and telemetry ranging. This unit was designed for the Hughes Galaxy satellite system and integrates with command/telemetry equipment and tracking systems. Typical installation involves rackmount configuration in ground station equipment racks alongside receivers, transmitters, and control computers.
This Hughes 3814115-100 Range Tone Processor has been inspected and is in good used condition. It was pulled from a working satellite ground station environment where it was in active use. The front panel controls and illuminated pushbutton indicators appear intact and show normal wear consistent with field service use. The chassis shows light surface wear and some minor discoloration typical of older rack-mounted satcom equipment. Internally, the analog circuit boards and wiring appear complete and undisturbed.
