[Milsurplus] NESTOR: AN/PRC-77 with TSEC/KY-38 *CORRECTED PHOTO*

[George Sliney]

Wow!  That Ky-28 unit looks as large and heavy as the KY-8 units I had
aboard my ship.  What contributed to the size and I assume the weight of
the KY-28?  I sure did not want to try and lug around a KY-8.  Luckily, all
my issues with my KY-8's were from the key insertion device.  The RM's had
a lot of difficulty in setting up the slides and inserting the device into
the KY-8.  I normally would be in the crypto room "assisting" with the
setups.
