Vertex Standard is now part of Motorola which brings a lot to the table from the wireless and commercial radio side.

 It looks like Yaesu have taken the K3's performance ideals and put it 
into a bigger box. The brochure is on the yahoo groups web page for those 
nterested.

This radio is going to be very popular because it seems that a lot of the 
riticism of the K3's  apparent failings  seem to have been corrected in the new 
aesu FT5K design

All very interesting

I wonder if those who buy the FT-5000 will be able to send emails to a
eflector that the CEO's of Vertex Standard will read and post to?
I wonder if Vertex Standard will respond to requests for added
eatures in their firmware?
I wonder if Vertex Standard will allow REAL HAM field testers to test
irmware changes before being released?
I for one don't think the answer to any of the above will be yes, but
 could be wrong.  That's just my opinion.
