UHF Radio's

[Absinth]

Not many UHF's though. They really only took off in the late 80's.

agree.... Possibly even later into the 90's. my first CB radio was a 23 ch ssb Cobra in 1976. In 1978 I got one of the new 18 ch CB's, a Pierce Simpson Super Panther ssb. To licence it for a year was $25. In 1986 it was in my VB Commodore when it was stolen and they nicked the CB. I replaced it with a new 40 ch ssb Pierce Simpson Super Panther. I've still got it somewhere in my container I believe.

late 70's to early 80's would have had the old am ssb 23 or 18 channel CB's..... No UHF back then.
