[MRCA] URT-24

Thanks.  That confirms my guess.  And it makes sense.  The URT-23 is also 
just a T-827 with an amplifier and power supply.  This is the 100 watt 
version.

Note that the writeup is for AN/URT-24B.  So AN/URT-24 and AN/URT-24A also 
existed and would no doubt have used earlier versions of the T-827 and 
AM-3007.
