Nine years ago manufacturers sold nearly ten standard home radios for every portable; now the margin is closer to two to one, and is steadily narrowing. Radio's transistorized reawakening began when Regency brought out the first T-radio in late 1954. Raytheon and G.E. followed, and today the industry is in the middle of its most feverish sales battle since the early postwar years.
