Hi Luc, What are you exactly trying to do? Are you trying to convert this into a 10 GHz transverter for use terrestrially on 10.368 GHz? Or are you looking at converting to a 'receive only' system on 10.450 GHz (P3E)
From everything I've seen on these units, the transmit portion is Ku band and won't move down to 10 GHz (internally matched)

If feasable both as there is the TX and the RX on the same body. I think someone play with this unit as a handwriting note appears as "10- 15GHZ KU" but i have no clue for the transmit IF value nor the RX IF too. Is it possible theses unit can be wide enough to cover from 10 to 15GHZ it seems to be a bit extreme.
Without any specs it is hard to come up with some solution to have it working in our bands. "-"

I believe the waveguide is WR-75 which is rated for 10-15 GHz, but I also believe the system will not move down to the 3cm amateur radio band without serious modifications.
