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.

I hate to say it, but I have several 23 channel radios. My favorite of the
bunch is my cam 89 with turner +3. But not everyone has a pile of radios
piled in the corner.


Yes but you obviously collect them and don't use them. Nothing wrong with
that. In fact I guess there's nothing wrong with running a 23 channel rig
but for someone earlier to say there's nothing ever been produced since 23
channel rigs that's any good gave me a good laugh. In fact I just had to
stop typing as I was laughing some more just thinking about it.. lolol
