The tr22c did have 12 channels and the original tr22 had 6.  I used a
tr22c for a good many years.  while the other radios came and went via
trade or whatever, I kept the tr22c the longest and used it as a base
station when I was living in appartments in the mid 70's.  Not sure
what ever happened to it, but it really was a great little radio and
the first portable I'd ever owned.  Had all 12 channels crystalled up
too!

I used inside antennas then because the intermod was just too bad on
anything outside.
