Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI)

What is an MMSI?
An MMSI is a nine digit number used on marine transceivers capable of using
Digital Selective Calling (DSC). This number is used like a telephone number
to selectively call other vessels.
THIS NUMBER MUST BE PROGRAMMED INTO THE RADIO TO OPERATE
DSC FUNCTIONS.
How can I obtain an MMSI assignment?

In Canada, visit

The MMSI can be inputted only once. Therefore please be careful
not to input the incorrect MMSI number. If you need to change the
MMSI number after it has been entered, the radio will have to be returned
to Factory Service. Refer to the section "21.2 FACTORY SERVICE".
Programming the MMSI
1. Press the MENU key to display "MENU".
2. Rotate the DIAL/ENT knob to select "MMSI/POS
