!5 or 20 years ago, a decent crew at Motorola in Schaumberg (mostly hams) had a pretty good thing going, refurbishing some of the batwing company's
commercial rigs and making them available to amateurs. I do not know the details .. in fact what I am relaying here is all hearsay! Anyway. with the exception of the 2 meter HT already mentioned in this thread. and the "rumors" of the back-door gear I mentioned here.. I don't think that Motorola has any interest in the amateur radio market. Since Kenwood seems to have lost interest in developing and promoting new ham gear.. maybe Motorola will offer the Yaesu amateur product line to Kenwood ! Or.. drop the division entirely. as I think Yaesu has taken a pretty big hit with the FT2000 and FT9000. That would mean the BIG players would be Icom, TenTec. and . of course. Elecraft !
