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

No actually I said its better than some of the new junk out
there, not nothing that has ever been produced since 23 channel rigs.
If you weren't so busy laughing and LOL'ing you just might be able to
quote correctly. I never stated which 23 channel rig I was comparing
to the new radios. Are you that up on the radios that you can state
that all the new radios are better than my 23 channel radio?
In fact I just had to stop typing as I was laughing some more just
thinking about it.. lolol
