The Icom IC-22A is crystal-controlled, so has ultimate flexibility (at the price of crystals). The Icom IC-22U came after the IC-22S (23 channel with diode matrix board) -- I had the 22S one in late 1970s (popular unit at the time). Generally, I have seen them sell on eBay for ~ $15 to $50

Keep in mind that the 22S and possible the other variations had a problem of intermittant solder joints on the steel pins that were used as feedthrus on the circuit boards. Burt Lang Greg Beat wrote: The Icom IC-22A is crystal-controlled, so has ultimate flexibility (at the price of
