44 YEARS AGO - In 1981 a new market was emerging in the USA: Citizens’ Band radio (CB). This was effectively a glorified walkie-talkie which up until then was illegal in Britain. However, in America CB radios had become very popular for people to install in their cars and trucks to communicate with each other while driving. Enthusiasts gave themselves ‘handles’: colourful names like Rubber Duck, The Bandit, Big Bird, Sidewinder, etc. In Britain the industry lobbied the government to make CB radio legal, and after a lot of pressure, it was legalised on 2 November 1981. Amstrad moved into the sector quickly designing our own CB radio transmitter/receiver, which ultimately dominated the UK market.
