I believe you can no longer sell, trade or give away 23 channel radios,
but you _can_ sell the microphone and leave the radio attached!


An individual can still sell or buy a 23 channel radio from another
individual.


The thing is why would you want a 23 channel radio? Collectors I can
understand but not an average CB user. I see a few from time to time on sale
on eBay and some fetch reasonable money. I remember back in the UK in 1980 a
lad lived across the road from my then girlfriend and he had a 23 channel
radio. We always went to channel 24 just to wind him up... I guess im just
evil.. lol.

One of my trucks has an old 23 channel radio in it. I think it
sounds better than some of the new "junk" out there. All my radios
are stuck on channel 19, so why would I want a 40 channel radio?


You can buy any radio as long as it was "type acceptance" when it was new!
Its the same thing with police scanners that received the 800MHz cell
phones.
You can buy them used without a problem. As long as they were type
accepted at the time of manufacture.
