Astron makes a line of DC-to-DC converters, including several that convert 24 to 12 VDC. I'd strongly suggest using at least two converters, rather than trying to run your entire system on one unit. You probably should employ converters that have full isolation, just to be certain that you don't create a ground loop. Go here for more information:

It's a Motorola Micor, and we have a couple of link radios as well, total current draw about 40-45a when they're all fired up.
