This item from the ARRL Letter, 2-20-14:

♦ Kenwood Buys E.F. Johnson: JVC Kenwood has purchased E.F. Johnson Technologies. Johnson has been manufacturing radio gear for a long time and was a major player in the 1950s and 1960s. Today, it's not unusual to see hamfest vintage equipment tables loaded with Johnson Rangers, Vikings, and Thunderbolts, and many E.F. Johnson "Matchbox" antenna tuners are still doing the job. In more recent years, the company has become better known for its VHF and UHF public safety communication gear. -- Thanks to The ARRL Contest Update

Maybe Kenwood will buy my johnson too. It's been around since the 50's.

Use an "AM Courtesy Filter" to limit transmit audio bandwidth  +-4.5 KHz, +-6.0 KHz or +-8.0 KHz when needed.  Easily done in DSP.

No Donny, these men are nihilists. There's nothing to be afraid of.

Everybody knows Johnson invented the original SDR.  Grin
Kenwood's accomplished a tour de force by picking up a technological giant.
