I seem to remember there was a connection between Motorola and PCTel/Maxrad via executive Marty Singer. I was shocked when I saw that, since I had experience with Mr. Singer when I was at Tellabs. I will not comment further since this list is public and I don’t want to get sued. I will note that if I remember correctly, his PhD was actually in Experimental Psychology, and this was evident in his dealings with coworkers.
From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chuck McCown Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2017 4:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] 450m Here is a fragment of a 10 year old note to Motorola legal about a call I had with one of their guys back when I was paying pretty large royalties to be listed on their third party website..... (I held H pol for over a year at their request due to their deal with Earthlink) I told him that the meager amount of traffic we get from the web site is not worth the royalty. And again rehearsed the points of the . . . . . . email. [he] then gave me a litany of particulars that I found offensive and for the most part erroneous as listed below: 1. WB is taking advantage of Motorola. 2. WB currently gets all advantages that Cascade gets. (Oh, Really!) 3. WB too small to get same deal as MTI, Maxrad and Mars. 4. Maxrad, MTI and Mars pay zero royalty. 5. Motorola does not trust or suspects our data on our 900 MHz stinger. 6. (He said the wave form might not be accurate and how could we just draw a waveform like that. They cannot believe the waveform. I presume he meant antenna pattern). [he] said Mot was talking to Equinox about getting FCC approval and 3rd party listings. (Equinox is a competitor of WB as is Mars, Maxrad and MTI) I told [him] to please remove our listing from the Motorola web site and consider the agreement terminated. I told him that we were proceeding with the launch of all products including H pol on all frequencies. He indicated that I could not do that, I told him to just watch me. He would not terminate the call and continued to press for continued dialog. I repeated multiple times, “please remove me from the website”. I finally had to hang up on him .
