Digital Message Device
The KY-879/P is a Digital Message Device (DMD) built around 1981 by
Racal Communications Inc. for the US Special Forces (SF).
It is a small message terminal that allows coded messages to be sent and
received in burst transmissions, to avoid detection by
Radio Direction Finding (DF).
The design is based on the Racal MEROD MA-4248
the MA-4450
and the MA-4480.
It is also known as part of the OA-8990/P Digital Message Device Group
and as NSN 5820-001-100-3194.

The KY-879/P was used by the US Army in combination with the
AN/PRC-70
and AN/PRC-74 radios.
In other countries the Racal MEROD message units
were sometimes used in combination with other radios, such as the
AEG/Telefunken SE-6861
that was known by the Dutch Special Forces
as LAPR.
