No it was 2.6 GHz MDS equipement that was decommisioned and put on sale a
couple years ago.  I doubt that it is available now.  Maybe someone has one
that they will sell you, but with AO-40 in orbit I expect they will be not
too many spare ones around!  They were a great deal at the time.  I bought
three for $100 and have traded one.  The other two will be used in my
station on different IF's.

A new revision has been released and is available from Amsat and ARRL Pubs.
