I was able to buy and got to checkout till I saw that the shipping was almost
as much as the part. Going to wait and see my other options. I contacted Q5 to
see if I can purchase a RA module from them. Hoping shipping isn't $40+. Mike

Not sure where I came up with the UK. RF Microwave is located in Italy and
they have also suspended shipments to the US.

Looks like RF Microwave out of the UK may have them.

....Now if you could only get a package out of the UK headed to the US.
I went on a search for these a few weeks ago when I was testing an old DEMI
1296 amp. Thought that I smoked the modules but luckily turned out to be a bad
attenuator I was using.

Convert it to the RA18H1213G which is a replacement for the obsolete M57762
power module. The RA18H1213G requires significantly less drive power (200 mW
vs 1 watt) and a lower gate voltage (+5VDC at 1 mA vs +9VDC at 500 mA),
resulting in a more efficient and simpler hybrid power amplifier design that
does not require a heat sink for the control pin or bypass components for
the hybrid. There are several sources on the web detailing how to do the
conversion.

If someone has the final rf amplifier section in a module they don't need
please let me know. I have purchased what I had hoped was a good M57762
module but got a lemon. Thanks Mike
