This would be better asked of Joe.  As I recall, there were few 23 channel sets
commonly available, and when 40 chan models came, nobody wanted to pay for a 23
channel set when they could get a 40 for about the same price.  At the time, I
was working for an electronics shop in Ontario, and we did sell CB's.
