[GreenKeys] Fwd: ARLX007 Motorola buys Yaesu

[Bob Camp]

Hi

I *hope* they keep the Ham stuff, but I would not bet on it. A lot of  
the Japanese companies are in the business because "it's cool" rather  
than to make money.

The Motorola I worked for always seemed more interested in the bottom  
like than being cool ....
