Needs co-called Radiosonde Replacement System (RRS). The RRS tracking and receiving equipment tracks and receives the radiosonde signals. This is how it works: The signals are received from the Telemetry Receiving System (TRS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) and transmitted via the Signal Processing System (SPS) through a fiber optic cable to the workstation. The Signal Processing System (SPS), which is within the TRS, converts these signals to a digital(numeric) form that can be used by the RRS Workstation (RWS) software. The RWS has a user interface that allows you to display and edit upper air data during the flight. When the coded messages are ready for transmission, they are sent from the RRS workstation to AWIPS via LAN, or a modem. The modem converts the data into a form that can be transmitted over telephone lines.
In a word, it's quite completed and an individual cannot opearte it.
