AKA Fox-1B?

Yes. However, that is really an AMSAT internal designation we use since it is part of the Fox-1 bus series, we use the suffix to designate what we are building in regard to assembly.
RadFxSat is the official/only name in the ELaNa XIV mission. Kinda like Fox-1A was known only as Fox-1 in the ELaNa XII mission.
Vanderbilt University ISDE submitted the CSLI for RadFxSat and RadFxSat-2 (in cooperation with us) for their experiments.
Officially (per launch manifests) vs. Internally: Fox-1 | (Fox-1A) Fox-1C | (Fox-1Cliff, it was named Cliff after the launch was secured) Fox-1D | (Fox-1D) RadFxSat | (Fox-1B) RadFxSat-2 | (Fox-1E)

Don't forget the OSCAR number, too. :-D
OK, so it is the same. Great news!
Is that the only vehicle with an amateur radio mission on this launch?

To the best of my knowledge, yes. I consider "amateur radio mission" to be two-way communications for hams, not just downlink telemetry in an amateur band.

DOUBLE AMEN to that!
