SEA 322 HF/SSB ?

Pa La O La · 10-06-2005, 13:14

Good day,

I’d like to show my ignorance. I have a SEA 322 HF/SSB radio and I’m sure it is old. It was on the boat when I bought it. I heard it squawking when I went out for the sea trials so I know it works. My thought then was nice, now how does she sail. I’ve been able to find something other than static a few times. Trouble is I know zip about this thing and there is no paper about this thing any where on the boat. My list of things to get to is getting smaller (right! I dream) but I’d like to have this thing do something other than fill its hole here on the Nav table. I know I need to get a license to operate it but I thought it would be nice to listen to a few cursing nets or maybe even a weather net or something. I figure if it works it will inspire me to get the license so I can participate. I’ve been on line and looked at some nets and found their frequencies trouble is they all seem to be two or three numbers to the left of the decimal point. This thing has four or five Not the same! With out any operating instructions for the panel I’m at a bit of a loss. It has several functions but again I know not where to start. I don’t subscribe to the "if it’s old - replace it". At my age that gets me looking over my shoulder for folks of that mind set looking at me. Anybody out there know any thing about this unit that might help to get me started?

Getting there slowly but surely. Wind generator is up and running.

I don’t know about radio nets, but for a “cursing” Forum( perhaps “cursed”), goto the “Latts and Atts Cruising Forum:

Although from another manufacturer (SGC), the following ‘SSB/HF Users Guide’ offers some excellent information:
