Yaesu FTM-400DR Non Standard APCO P25 Modulation

[JASII]

So, now that this much time has passed since the original announcement, has anybody ever determined why Yaesu went and did what they did with the non-standard digital formats? If they had simply gone with one that is APCO P25 complaint and another one that is DMR (MOTO TRBO) complaint, it would have made MUCH more sense, at least to me.

I suppose at this point, the chances of them saying that they made a mistake and deciding to offer a P25 version and a MOTO TRBO version are slim to none!

No, nobody knows, not even them. Along these same lines, how come they only recently announced repeater equipment for it, and still haven't released it? It's very backwards.
