CB radio sales fall as market floods with imports
UPI reports a dramatic slump in U S CB transceiver sales from 11 million in 1976 to 8 million in 1977, with prices dropping from 130 to 50 dollars and major fan magazines folding. Only four American manufacturers remain, holding about 6 percent of the market, while imports flood in and a Trade Commission ruling looms. A Save American CB committee led by Johnson seeks a 50 percent tariff to curb imports amid ongoing hearings.
