Effective 1/1/2012, Yaesu will split from it's parent company Motorola, after four years of ownership. In the U.S., the company will be known as Yaesu USA, while going by the name Yaesu Musen internationally. Motorola will retain the Vertex Standard Land Mobile Radio product line, while Yaesu will contain the Amateur, Aircraft, and Marine products.
The ARRL has a press release here. :chin:

Probably good for Yaesu. I've known a number of people who worked for Motorola and they all told me that the management style there is really terrible. In fact, Motorola is the company on which Scott Adams based his comic strip Dilbert.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
I thought Dilbert was based on PacBell...
Adams used to work for PacBell (before it got merged with SW Bell) but he has said that the basic concept for the company Dilbert works for came from friends who worked for Motorola.Originally Posted by kf0rt

I sit corrected. :)
So in short, Motorola bought Yaesu to get their hands on the Vertex line, and now that they've done so, they're spinning the rest of the company back out.
Look on the bright side... it's not like they sold the product line to MFJ.

The brighter side yet is that when Google effectively swallows Motorola up, Yaesu will now be clear of the ensuing mess.
