Well, the know-it-alls over on the QRZ.COM forums would have you believe
that Motorola is either going to shut down the Amateur division, sell it to
the Chinese, or sell it to MFJ.
Now, mind you, there are no facts to back any of this up, just wild
speculation. But they already know everything, so you can take it to the
bank. Just ask them.
Keep in mind, of course, that while Motorola will own a controlling
interest, they won't own it all. So we shall see. And I wouldn't expect
anything to happen right away.
And in all fairness, you never know. For example... anyone heard anything
out of Cushcraft since they were sold earlier this year?

Does anybody have any sense of whether Motorola will continue the amateur
product line. Based
on Yaesu's product line-up, Yaesu has been making big penetrations into the
commercial and security
communication business which is why Motorola must have bought into them.The
founder may even want to spin
off the amateur piece just to keep it alive since it was his starter set.

I just checked the calendar, and no, it's not April 1st.
But this is certainly stunning news!
