KY-65/75 VOICE SECURITY SYSTEM (PARKHILL)
This is a voice encryption unit that is designed to work on narrowband H.F. radio circuits. The KYV-2, KY-8, KY-28, KY-38 and KY-57, KY-58 are designed to work in a 25 kHz wide channel on VHF or UHF frequencies where the propagation conditions than those found in the H.F. band. The PRC-104 is one of the H.F. radios that was used with this box.

KG-65 is manpack portable.
KG-75 is for shipborne and airborne operation.

Note the red 'X' on the top of the case below the numbers 28111. This spot denotes the most critical crypto area and if the KY-65 was in danger of falling into unauthorized hands, this was the point at which to aim the gun and shoot the machine. (E-bay seller's photo)

The KY-65 uses the Parkhill algorithm, however, if someone talks too fast then the message gets garbled. This is because the KY-65 output is limited to a narrow (3 kHz) bandwidth in order to work with HF radios. A fast talking person will exceed 3 kHz bandwidth.
