SBE held on until at least 1979, which is the year they registered "By SBE" as a trademark. Part of the marketing campaign for their "Land Command" series of radios. I just learned tonight that the "By SBE" trademark wasn't canceled until 1990, so someone may have holding out hope of a return of the company for a few years.

SBE had several 40 channel models. The Sidebander V/Console V and Sidebander VI/Console VI pairs come to mind, as well as the Keycomm 1000, Formula D, Trinidad III, and the aforementioned Land Command radios. I'm sure there's some SBE diehards here that could name more.

As far as I know, no one bought the SBE name or trademarks. The SBE Entertainment Group that manages hotels in Las Vegas and elsewhere is not related.

I have seen SBE units that were sold in Australia badged as "Liner". I don't know if that was a contract manufacturing job or if Liner was a brand name owned by SBE.
