Hi Phillip,

Yes, if you click on the "Value Add" link they explain that since this 
is a value-added item (meaning someone at DigiKey has to program it),  
it will show up as "backordered" in your cart.    I normally get 
same-day turnaround for online orders and have never had them actually 
be out of stock.   It's just a quirk of how their web store works.

Another note - when you enter the frequency information in the "Order 
Notes" on the last step of the ordering process, to give the frequencies 
in MHz.   Not KHz.    No idea why but you'll just get a call from a nice 
lady who needs MHz before she can fill your order and isn't interested 
in math ;-)
