The KK7B boards, and a couple versions that pre-date them were great at the
time, but are now way out of date.  Not a commerically viable product.
DEMI is a two-person operation:  time spent answering e-mail, CAN'T be
spent filling orders and doing R&D.  And, since e-mail is free TO THE
SENDER (only !), I would guess they'd get TONS of it... 99% of which would
be useless, and simply waste their time.  

Steve IS very good on the phone, though.  He'll answer questions, and help
as he can.  I'm currently working on adopting one of his 5670 XVRTRs into
an i.f. for a 24GHz system.  Its an "off-frequency" (i.e., not 5760 MHz)
i.f., but that board is quite broad-band.  Steve's been very helpful with a
special order, and some suggestions that have made it easier to do.
