Hughes BUC Question

[tester239]

I've acquired an old 1.2m VSAT dish that has an OMT, with an LNB and a BUC from Hughes. There are two ports on the BUC, one is labeled 'IFL' and the other 'AP.' I know what IFL is for, but what is AP for? Is that just a test port?

Note: I have no intention of actually using the BUC for uplinking, just merely curious. The BUC is just there holding the feedhorn and such in place until I make a custom mount.

I'm surprised you didn't get an answer by now.
Can you post a couple of pictures?
Might get a bit of attention to the thread, and shake loose some answers. -

I've attached a picture of the entire assembly and one of the connectors in question. Hope that helps
