9cm = approx. 3 GHz (2 - 4 GHz, S to C Band area)

Ranked from biggest bang for the buck to most expensive
solution:

1) Best bet:     Continually search eBay for something close ...

2) 2nd best bet: Build a suitable amplifier from 'discrete' transistors

 See Fujitsu GaAs FET and HEMT selection guide:

3) 3rd best bet: Build a suitable amplifier from pre-assembled modules ...

4) 4th best: Purchase the needed equipment from a surplus or new
   equipment dealer ...
