DSC Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) Registration
Each DSC transmitter should be programmed to operate with the owner’s registered DSC capable
VHF marine radio. The registration number, known as the VHF marine radio’s MMSI number, is
a unique 9-digit identification number that can only be supplied by the United States Coast Guard
and its affiliated MMSI registration partners. More information regarding MMSI registration for
VHF marine radios may be found at the following Internet address:
http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/marcomms/gmdss/mmsi.htm
The digital selective calling feature of an ORCA® DSC beacon, by default, will transmit a generic
MMSI number that is not registered to any VHF marine radio. The owner’s registered MMSI
number can be programmed at the factory or at an approved reseller’s facility.
