Group MMSI Number
Nautical organizations like yacht clubs and regatta event
organizers can establish Group MMSI numbers. Messages
can then be automatically transmitted to all members of a
group without making individual calls.
The Group MMSI is established by modifying the MMSI
assigned to one (1) group member. To modify the MMSI
number, drop the last digit of the number and insert a zero
(0) at the beginning.
Example:
Member MMSI number 366123456 becomes Group MMSI
number 036612345.
Group MMSI numbers may be entered and changed any
time without resetting the radio. Each member of a group
must enter the group MMSI number in their radio to receive
group messages.
NOTE
ALL digits must be entered for the display to show
complete.
