How The KISS-SSB Works.
As seen in the magazines:
Cruising World, Cruisers Outpost, Sail, Lattitude 38,
48 Degrees North, Blue Water Sailing and Practical Sailor
The KISS-SSB is a self-contained counterpoise radial system that is the perfect answer for trouble free Marine SSB communications. The word "GROUND" could be the problem, it should be "COUNTERPOISE." The system of using exact pre-measured counterpoise ground radials is even suggested in every Icom, SGC Smart Tuner, and Furuno Auto-Tuner manuals. Right now the most commonly used tuner is the Icom-AT-140 and if you look on page two you'll see the principals used in our KISS-SSB Ground Plane System. Using the lifelines, engine, tanks and other metal is the most common cause of RF interference and static, and it can upset other electronics because it has DC negative on it and now all electronics that of curse need DC negative are being used as a counterpoise also, this causes them to potentially act out.
