Motorola/Vertex Merger

[trauma74 111]

I heard a rumor this morning and I confirmed it with a Motorola dealer. Motorola has bought out Vertex. Also heard that Vertex will be making a new PM1500 Low Band portable radio for Motorola.

That sucks, now all the Yaesu stuff will be priced out with the moon!

Classic Motorola - buy your competitor!

That kinda stinks....

It's going to be interesting to see what happens with this...... I wonder what technology they had that Moto wanted or did they just want to eliminate some competition........ Will Moto finally produce a dual band portable or maybe even a mobile ? A lot of the Vertex offerings are basically re-badged slightly modified Yaesu Ham radios so I wonder if that will continue now that Moto is the boss.....

The good thing is that Vertex makes good low band products so if they make them for Moto, they will finally have good low band radios.
