YAESU
Overview of the company Yaesu
The Japanese radio amateur Sako Hasegawa, JA1MP, founded in 1956 in Tokyo, the company K. K. General Terebi Service. Eight years later in 1964, the company moved to Yaesu, Tokyo and changed its name to YAESU Musen. The focus in the 1950s and 1960s was exclusively on the development and production of amateur radio equipment for shortwave operation. Early in the 60s, Germany became an interesting sales market for amateur radios. In 1963, the Sommerkamp company set up a sales department for YAESU radios, which was taken over a few years later by Richter & Co, Ricofunk, with locations in Hanover and Düsseldorf. With the later sale of Ricofunk to Stabo Elektronik in Hildesheim, the distribution again passed into new hands.
