SSB radios are a proven communication device popular for long range cruising sailors. SSB radios have the capacity to transmit and receive voice communication with a global range (with the right atmospheric conditions). SSB radios require the operator to maintain an FCC license for operation. Hardware consists of a unit mounted inside the vessel and, typically, the sailboat backstay used as the antenna. Contact Off The Hook Yacht Services for SSB installation information.
