Yaesu's Amateur Radio Division Breaks with Motorola, Changes Name to Yaesu
Musen


After four years under the Motorola umbrella, Yaesu has split from that
company. According to Vertex Standard President and Chief Executive Officer
Jun Hasegawa, effective January1, 2012, Motorola will keep the Vertex
Standard Land-Mobile Division, while the amateur, marine and air-band will
be under the Yaesu Musen banner. The new company will be known as Yaesu USA
here in the US.

"This reorganization will allow us to concentrate in amateur, marine and
air-band business, which will better leverage and align the strengths of our
entire business operation," Hasegawa said in a press release dated December
27. "We believe that there is an exciting opportunity to evolve our
organization to meet the needs of the Amateur Radio, Marine equipment and
air band telecommunication industries by continuing to provide specialized
services and the highest quality products."

Hasegawa explained that the new company's name will be Yaesu Musen, "a name
our business partners have been familiar with for over 50 years. We are
delighted to bring you the legacy of trust, quality and solid customer
service that has always been associated with the Yaesu Musen company name."

While Yaesu Musen will have a new Japanese address, the address and phone
numbers -- as well as the US operations and sales organization -- for Yaesu
USA will not change. Dennis Motschenbacher, K7BV, will remain in charge of
Yaesu USA's sales division.
