  Who says that? There is no 2.5GHz MMDS service in Japan. I do not
know the manufacture of Norsat product is or is not in Japan, but I
never saw them in the market here.
  The famous MMDS converter Dake 2880 was made in Japan, but it was
OEM product for MMDS service of Drake USA - not for Japan. Now all
2880 had sold out and we JA hams have to purchase the manufactures
models (but they are expensive...)

> Maybe somebody knows where I can get these convertors in Japan ?

  If you have a plan to visit at OSAKA city, please try to visit at
electronics parts shop "DIGIT" of Nihonbashi Electric Town (called
"NIHON-BASHI DENG-DENG TOWN"). I heard a few month ago that there
was some stock of 2880 at there.
  Maybe there is no stocks already at Akihabara Electric Town of
Tokyo. And I do not know any other type MMDS availability..

  Maybe possible at Akihabara or Nihonbashi, but what kind of? It will
be depend on the types.

  Me too :-) but I am liing much far from Tokyo/Osaka area... Please
tell me your schedule. I will inform i on our Japanese local BB list.

  Have a good trip and DX.
