Mitec 8W KU-Band BUC Description
On a recent retest of this BUC the unit failed. Our cost to repair will exceed the value of the BUC. So I am placing it in the parts bin.
You may find some useful hard to find components.

Mitec’s products have more than a quarter century of proven field experience, demonstrating their unmatched dependability and reliability day after day. This level of dependability can be found in our line of high power hub mount solid-state power amplifiers (SSPAs). This Mitec 8W KU-Band BUC is uniquely designed to be a high quality, but cost effective solution for the satellite communications market, this line of high power hub mount SSPAs sets the standard for the satellite industry.
Model number Mitec WTX-14014539-70-ES-20 is a New – old stock – 8 Watt 14.0 to 14.5 GHz BUC
High power hub mount solid-state power amplifiers (SSPAs and BUCs):
The Mitec series of high power SSPAs are designed for use primarily in satellite communications applications. The operating frequency band of Ku Band SSPA is in the standard 14.0GHz to 14.5GHz, and 5.85GHz to 6.42GHz in the standard C Band.
Other frequency ranges are also available to customer specification. These units are characterized by high linearity and high power efficiency, as well as excellent thermal efficiency and dependability over the full operating temperature range.
