Actually there were two separate companies created from what was Motorola Semiconductor Group. The first was On Semiconductor, which makes all sorts of transistors, logic and analog ICs. Th second was Freescale, consisting mostly of the microprocessors and microcontrollers, plus a few other things.

Did any of you see the ARRL bulletin about Motorola buying Vertex? It has been a long time since I have seen a U.S. company buying a foreign company.

Maybe now we'll be able to get the HF Power transistors that they quit
supplying for  the FT100s that have been failing

The semiconductor business of Motorola was sold off a few
years ago - it's now known as Freescale.
