Dead KG-194 - What's next?

[Whonow]

We have a KG-194 that decided to take a dirt nap. This equipment is old, older than me being at my current job, so I was hopping to get some info from you guys since no one around here seems to know anything about them.

It seems the KG-194 is no longer being produced, is that true? If so, what is the replacement, the KG-19A? Any help on where to start looking would be great. Thanks in advance!

If you need one today it would be the KIV-19(A). If you are not in a hurry I would suggest taking a look at the new KIV-7M, which can be loaded with different "personalities" depending on the encryption units you need to communicate with. Manufactured by Safenet.

Of course I'm in a hurry :)

Maybe I'll contact Safe Net and they will let me have a couple beta units...

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll keep it in mind for the lifecycle in a few years.

Damn, I wish the KG-19A didn't have different cabling...that would be too easy...
