Bargain CB radios face shift as FCC expands channels
CB radio sales slump due to 23 to 40 channel expansion set for Jan 1 1978. Industry officials expect demand to rebound with Christmas, while concerns over compatibility persist. Some dealers offer 23 channel remanufacturing options but new rules require 40 channel sets, potentially causing a January shortage.
