Okay, some commo guys might slam me (or praise me) for this but here goes.
KL-43 -- Hand held Encryption/Decription Device -- A 5 Lb Paper weight that forces you to find 10 different menus to send one message.
It held only a few messages of a certain length, that you had to find and erase to make a new msg.
It sucked over HF (DMDG was better for goodness sakes)
Keyboard was so small and not illuminated for night you'd be lucky if you weren't sending recipes to your commander instead of SALUTE reports.
The crypto keys TEK and KEK were confusing, didn't last long, and were impossible to get loaded.
My head is hurting just remembering it!
