SSB Installation

Bill:

I'm a new member of sailnet and would like to know where I can buy a used single side band radio plus all the trappings needed to complete the installation.

I have an Irwin 37 that I want to start cruising with in the fall starting from the Pacific Northwest and continuing down to Mexico, Costa Rica, through the Panama Canal, up to Florida then accross the Burmuda, Azores, the Med, the Canals of France and then up to the Black and Baltic Seas for now. The South Pacific looks pretty good after that, then to complete a circumnavigation.

Thank you,

Jim

Hi all, I'm new to this board but love the info available. Two quick questions (for now) 1. I saw a reply about the AT-120 with an icom 710. Is the 2 switchs mentioned the only thinks to check before install or are there switchs inside the transciever as well? 2. What is the process for proper licencing for the marine band? Maybe another thread or web site that details the process? Thanks so much for all the info...

Already more questions. It turns out I am now the proud owner of an Icom AT-3 tuner. Will this tuner work with the ICOM 710? If so is there any switchs inside the tunner or transciever to make them compatable? Any downside to this tuner versus the newer AT130 or 140?

Radio Teck, Would an Icom-718 be a good radio to use onboard?

I have an 802. There is a setup function and sub menu to choose which tuner you have. The AT-3 should feature in this. If not, then an email to Icom to see if you choose the next one on the setup function.
