Description
The Codan 5908 is the SSPA part of an 8 watt KU Band transceiver package. The complete Codan 8W KU-Band SSPA transceiver consists of an A/C power supply a dual up and down converter and this SSPA.
Although we have the other components necessary to make a full transceiver we do not have the cable set, and for this reason we offer components only.
