He's probably talking about the am-0208. It has holes intended for the US Digital E4P encoders. You can mount them to a Toughbox, and you can mount the CUI AMT103 base on them if you add more holes in the proper places.

We're finding that the am-0208 is just a teeny bit thicker than we woud like, but it works. The mechanical group is learning the skill of mounting the encoders, and the programming group is learning how to modify the Talon SRX example so that it does what it's supposed to.
