This device operates in traditional mode over full duplex, half duplex, or simplex broadcast channels. In FIREFLY mode, it operates only over full duplex channels. The KIV-19 supports data transfer rates from 9.6 Kbps to 13 Mbps and also operates in tactical satellite terminals and conditions where weight is a consideration.
The KIV-19 is certified to secure all classification levels and categories.
It is an UNCLASSIFIED controlled cryptographic item (CCI) when unkeyed.
When keyed, the equipment carries a classification equal to that of the
key installed.

The newer KIV-19A offers users the ability to locally reconfigure the internal strapping options from the front control panel, a feature not found in the original KIV-19. It is functionally and plug-in compatible with the original KIV-19 and the KG-194/194A. In the traditional operating mode it is also fully interoperable with the KG-81 and KG-95 within their common operational data rates.
