While I shy away from Kenwood's ham radio offerings, our company has
been buying their commercial stuff for a few years now and it's rugged
and reliable. I'll be installing Kenwood for my own commercial system
as the narrowband deadline draws near.

There was another aquisition I wasn't thrilled to hear about. The
company I work for has a large installed base of Orthogon radios that
we've installed over the past three years. Now they're Motos. Time
will tell.
That said, I'm a huge fan of the MSR2000, they just keep on ticking.
