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?
