Yes its useful. But only if you are repairing and testing multiplexed 
long wire line equipment or developing new wire line hardware. It 
probably doesn't have 0.1% of the bandwidth of a fiber circuit or modern 
microwave link. Nor the loss and noise characteristics.

I suspect very few were made, probably used only inside Collins with the 
TE moniker for test equipment it doesn't quite fit in the late 60s model 
numbers of two or three digits a letter and a dash and number. But the 
knobs were Collins broadcast equipment standards then.

Its not for simulations of transmission lines connected to radio antennas.
