>Like the mortician said "remains to be seen". MOT is clearly after the 
land mobile and commercial products in this deal, in all likelihood they 
would be very open to an offer from someone to acquire the amateur 
product lines. The shareholders are going to want this to be 
accretive to earnings and selling off non-strategic (to MOT) products is 
one way to help make that happen.
MOT is a lot more concerned about iPhones and gPhones and such...that's 
why they sold off their embedded business to Emerson a few weeks ago.
