MMsi numbers
In order to use DSC features, you must be assigned a User
MMSI number and program that number into your radio.
Other than the User MMSI number, there are two other kinds
of MMSI numbers: individual numbers for use by single boats
and group numbers for use by fleets, boating organizations,
event coordinators, etc.
You can get more information on MMSI numbers at these
resources:

Recreational boaters can obtain an MMSI number from

Commercial boaters need a ship station license to get
an MMSI number. For more information, visit the Federal
