The optoisolator is a Fairchild 4N25. The rest of the stuff you could find just about anywhere. Google "4N25" to find a vendor that fits you needs.

For small orders I use http://www.mouser.com as they have no minimum order.

What radio are you connecting it to? It would make a difference in how to set it up.

"strip board" translates to perf board, or perfererated board, available at most Radio Shacks. AKA "breadboard".

Mouser and others do carry the perf board but in BIG pieces....
