Fox 40 Mini Whistle - Discontinued?

Does anyone know what happened to the Fox 40 mini whistle without the CMG? I can't seem to find it on any of the officiating suppliers websites, Amazon, nor the Fox 40 website.

Most officials would be able to hear what someone is saying while still officiating.

The second dribble becomes illegal as soon as the dribble occurs. When the ball is pushed to the floor is when the violation occurs.
