• Note 1: A2A1A4R86 changed from fixed 10-kilohm resistor to 10-kilohm potentiometer to permit adjustment of CW carrier reinsertion in AN/URT-23 system.
• Note 2: A2A6A6A1R60, 500-ohm potentiometer, added to rf translator board to compensate for hi-lo-band gain variations when used in AN/URT-23 system.
• Note 3: A2A4A38R6 changed from fixed 470-ohm resistor to 470-ohm potentiometer to compensate for gain variation when used in AN/URT-23 system.

T-827/URT - used in AN/WRC-1 - 500 Hz tuning
	==		NOTE: This transmitter has a T-827B badge but looks like a T-827 with 500 Hz tuning increment.
T-827A/URT - version manufactured by Elmer in Italy for NATO - manual
100 Hz tuning
T-827B/URT - used in AN/URT-23 and AN/WRC-1B
	missing A1, A4, A5 modules
		==	==
T-827C/URT - need info
T-827D/URT - used in AN/URT-23 and AN/URT-24 - need info
T-827E/URT - used in AN/URT-23 - need info
Here is a tag that says "modified to T-827E"	It seems that T-827B were modified to T-1827E - they have the same modules Need more info		==
T-827F/URT - used in AN/URT-23A and AN/URT-24A - need info
T-827G/URT - used in AN/URT-23B and AN/URT-24B A2A6 "6-pack" synthesizer/translator was replaced by a plug-in circuit board assembly
			==
T-827H/URT - part of AN/URT-23C Note A5 location has moved and A2/A3 audio modules have been replaced by A21 assembly of 3 plug-in boards (A18, A19, A20).		Manual - Table of Contents Chapter 3 Functional Description Chapter 5 Troubleshooting & Schematics Chapter 6 Corrective Maintenance
