The option is there to continue using a 40 channel radio, if you feel the extra channels are "not worth it".

Trouble is, when you continue to use the 40 channels, and others are using the new 80, you'll be using 2 channels at once. Kate vk4xyl

But I'm going to have to do some experiments to see how much splatter there will be in practise. Here's a bit which was cut'n'pasted from my website ( www.qsl.net/vk2cjc) --- Actually... if we consider the theory of fitting a narrow channel between two wide channels, they might fit. Assuming that wide channel sets have + or - 5KHz deviation and a receive filter width of 15KHz, and narrow channels sets have + or - 2.5KHz deviation and a receive filter width of 6KHz (as is more or less the industry standard) then there is no cross over between the channels. There is almost no space between them, but they don't meet. So... if both CB stations had decent quality, well aligned receivers, it is possible that a wide channel and an adjacent narrow channel could operate at the same time and not hear each other. However... this is in an ideal world and we all know that many CBs leave rather a lot to be desired in receiver quality and even good quality commercial equipment would never have channels spaced so closely. So no matter how hopeful we are that it'll work, we have to expect break through onto adjacent channels. --

How is it not worth it? You could simply pretend the new channels don't exist if you like.
