What is Single Side Band (SSB)?
Single Sideband is a comparatively unknown, interesting, and important radio format that takes a special radio for listening and a little time to learn. It is an efficient and reliable way to get long range information when Internet, phone or satellite is not available.
You can listen to FEMA, long range aviation, ships at sea (think Coast Guard), space (possibly even spy transmissions) and other worldwide communication. Single Side Band is not available on your smartphone which makes the CC Skywave SSB 2 the ultimate off-the-grid backup communication system.
The Skywave SSB 2 has wide and accurate band coverage in a small size making it an excellent travel and emergency radio. Single Side Band is a reliable way to get long-range information after an earthquake or hurricane when normal communications are down. The SSB tuning is accurate to 10 Hertz resolution. It also covers civilian aviation VHF with 10 aviation memories that can continuously scan for activity. It also covers AM/FM and Weather with Alert.
The Skywave SSB 2 has a shortwave antenna jack which can significantly improve SW reception when used with an external antenna. It also has a micro-USB connector for using any USB charging adapter. The in-circuit battery charging has been improved for optional “AA” NiMH rechargeable batteries. We’ve listened and upgraded to a higher quality speaker along with slightly more audio amplification. Longer feet have been added on the bottom of the radio for better stability.
Designed for the discerning group of radio enthusiasts who want more from a radio. Single Side Band is an efficient and reliable way to get long-range information when Internet, phone, or satellite is not available. You can listen to FEMA, long-range aviation, ships at sea (think Coast Guard), space (possibly even spy transmissions), and other worldwide communication. Single Side Band is not available on your smartphone which makes it the ultimate off-the-grid backup communication system.
