Motorola announced today the intention to acquire 80% of Yaesu parent company Vertex Standard.
Current owner will remain with 20% forming a joint venture.
Who knows if this merge will offer Yaesu technical development new founds and resources to be implemented in next generation Yaesu products, or if this merge will sign the decline of one of the oldest firms in the ham radio market ?
Should Icom look around for other similar joint ventures ? Who knows…
Good luck Yaesu.

DXTuners is back online. After this spring shutdown, looks like the system is starting up again, maybe thanks to Kelly SM0NHC or maybe not. This is not clear yet.
Looks like this new system will host selected remote stations only and subscription will be free of charge.
