>From what I know, there's no chance of it happening any time soon; none of the Yaesu radios that have System Fusion capabilities can use that mode with anything other than one specific accessory and if memory serves, the FT-991 doesn't even support it, period.

Yeah, I guess you're right; it's too bad folks have to feel threatened by things that won't happen to realize that maybe their version of events isn't the whole story. Sadly, it's those folks that are the ones that make choices that retard the advancement of technology in one country compared to the rest of the world.
