Applications
Synchronous command generators were used in satellite ground station facilities to generate precise timing and command signals for satellite control and uplink operations. This unit was designed specifically for the AUSSAT system, Australia's domestic satellite communications network. Equipment of this type typically operated as part of larger ground station racks handling command transmission, telemetry, and tracking functions for satellite operations.
This Hughes 3878523-100 Synchronous Command Generator is being sold AS-IS for parts or repair. The unit has not been tested and no functionality is guaranteed. The front panel display appears dark and non-operational in the photos. Internally, the unit contains multiple PCB assemblies including the A2 Assy 3814102 Rev F and A3 boards, all appearing intact with no obvious physical damage to the boards themselves. The chassis shows typical age-related wear consistent with its era of manufacture. We have had multiple units in stock; the unit shipped may vary slightly from the unit photographed but will be the same model and part number. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
