yes, the radio you saw was a Vocaline... about 5 watts input. Class B was short lived to be sure, it never gained much use as there was almost no supply of usable equipment.Class A was different, 50 watts, FM, using commercial equipment, GE, Motorola, RCA, LINK, etc. many taxi companies took advantage of this service as it initially offered totally empty channels and great coverage in urban areas. The major trouble was stability of the equipment, AFC was offered in many radios in an attempt to keep them on channel, which was not easy....

Does anyone have any info on the old class B CB? I'm thinking it was a single simplex channel on 465.000 and 5 watts. May have been another frequency. Could have been AM too. I remember seeing an old lunchbox type radio for this service at a flea market once. I'm betting they are pretty rare now since the service was short lived.
