Abstract
We present a complete two-telescope version of a fiber-linked coherent array that is meant to be used for mounting on the dish of a radio te lescope. This was built with 20-cm amateur telescopes and includes thr ee different servo subsystems for guiding, nulling of the air path dif ference, and fiber length control. Laboratory tests of the fully integ rated system in front of a star simulator are described.
