Motorola's own press release lists a media contact named Jennifer ERICKSON!
You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

The Vertex board has voted to accept it, so it looks like a done deal (unless
some
someone / some agency / some jurisdiction files some anti-monopoly legal
paperwork).
If $108M is 80% of what Yaesu feels that Vertex is worth then all of it is
about 135 Mil...
Anybody have any idea of Motorola's history as to what happens to
acquisitions?
I just hope that they don't kill off the Yaesu ham radio line.
Does this mean the first radio that comes out of the duo will be called the
Mo-Tex?
Or the Ver-torola? or a Yae-torola? or a Mo-sue?
