CH/OK
to accept the final MSSI ID digit, the cursor moves on
to the NAME field. The first character in this line is a symbol assigned by the
radio, based on the MMSI number you entered.
Coast Stations are identified by “00” at the beginning of the station name. If
you enter 00 as the leading digits of the MMSI ID, the radio recognizes this as

If you enter a number other than 0 in the initial position of the MMSI ID, an
anchor symbol ( ) is entered as a prefix to the name, identifying this as a Ship
Station.
