Overview

Yaesu is a comprehensive communication equipment manufacturer providing Ham radios, Marine and Airband radios. The company traces its origins to 1954, when Japanese college graduate and amateur radio experimenter Sako Hasegawa began building Single Sideband (SSB) generators and received requests from radio amateurs across Japan for complete transmitters. YAESU Musen Company Ltd. was formed and incorporated in 1959 to produce radio communications equipment for radio amateurs.

History

In 1954 a young Japanese college graduate and amateur radio experimenter, Sako Hasegawa, read with enthusiasm about the development of Single Sideband (SSB) Telephony by Arthur Collins. After constructing several SSB generators for himself and friends, he was soon receiving requests from radio amateurs all over Japan for complete transmitters. YAESU Musen Company Ltd., was thus formed and incorporated in 1959 to produce radio communications equipment for radio amateurs.
