MMSI (Vessel) Filtering over a NMEA Network
Your radio can send call-related data over NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000 when it receives
distress calls, acknowledgements to position request calls, and other position-send calls. You
can filter the MMSI numbers (vessels) for which your radio sends this data in three ways:
any MMSI number (all vessels), no MMSI numbers (no vessels), or select MMSI numbers
(vessels selected from your directory).
