Yaesu has published a paper about digital communications in Amateur Radio. 


They indicate that they will not be supporting D-Star. Here's what they 
say about it:

"GMSK modulation
...
Now this method is considered 
old fashioned and is no longer being used by LMR. Currently GMSK is still being 
used by D-Star."

They also say:

"A new era of Digital in Amateur 
Radio is about to begin!
...
Adopt the latest digital modulation schemes 
for the future good of Amateur Radio.

Vertex Standard will use the most 
appropriate, advanced and latest digital communications methods that are gaining 
acceptance in modern professional communications equipment. We will not use 
outdated systems for manufacturing convenience."

It appears that they 
will be offering Amateur Radio portable and mobile transceivers in models 
supporting the P25 and DMR standards.

This will greatly boost the use of 
those formats. For the first time hams will be able to choose digital formats 
that have radios available from both the commercial and amateur radio markets, 
just as has been the case with FM for so many years.

The paper is 
available on the Yaesu Web site:
