KL-43

The KL-43 was a portable, electronic cipher device used by the United States from the late 1970s. The machine, manufactured by TRW, was an adaptation of language translator technology, and includes a keyboard for input and an LCD display for output. It also contains a built-in modem, a telephone coupler, and the facility for connecting to a printer.

There are a number of variations of the KL-43, including the KL-43, KL-43A, KL-43C and KL-43D.
