Electronic key transfer device (fill gun)
The Racal MA-4083 was a hand-held electronic device that was used for
transferring crypto-keys
and frequency channel data to some
Racal military radio sets,
such as the PRM-4720A tactical VHF/FM radio [1].
The MA-4083 itself could be filled by an MA-4073 programming device.

The image on the right shows a typical MA-4083 fill gun.
The device is small and leightweight, and easily fits in the
pocket of a uniform. All I/O is at the top surface. There is a 7-pin
socket for connection to a radio set, two LEDs (marked ON and NR),
and a recessed ZEROIZE button.
Over time, improved versions of the device were issued, resulting in the
addition of a letter to the model number. The MA-4083B is required
for the PRM-4720A tactical radio. The device shown here is the
C-version. It was also used in combination with the
MA-4777 voice encryptor.

At present, no further information about the MA-4083 is available to us.
If you know about other radios that are compatible with this fill gun,
if you have any documentation or a fill cable, or if you have any further
information about it, please contact us.
