The "A" channels are not included on this chart. There are several channels who's frequency ends in "45" and "95" which were allocated to RC cars, planes, boats back in the '60's. So in effect, there are some channels inbetween the channels in a few spots. Namely, channel 3A, 7A, 9A, 11A, 15A, 19A. Also note 22A and 22B, which were two "inbetween" channels inbetween channel 22 and 23, which was the top channel before 40 channels was introduced in 1977.

Other countries may use these frequencies if they have a CB Radio Service. New Zealand for example, uses frequencies well below our own channel 1 and note that their frequencies are 5 khz off of ours.
