Define "active." :)  I.C.E. is S L O W about delivering ham 
products, especially filters, and most especially multiband filters. 
I ordered two of them last year, delivery took about six months. I 
was quoted a long lead time, probably 3-4 months. Called after four 
months or so to ask about a ship date. Told me they had a lot of 
back orders (500 or so) and were getting ready to build a batch. The 
problem, they said, was that they have to put their best person on 
building them, and other products are where they make their money. I 
was told then that for this reason, they were strongly considering 
discontinuing their ham filters.
