11.2 MARITIME MOBILE SERVICE IDENTITY (MMSI)

11.2.1 What is an MMSI?

An MMSI is a nine digit number used on Marine Transceivers capable of using
Digital Selective Calling (DSC). This number is used like a telephone number to
selectively call other vessels.

THIS NUMBER MUST BE PROGRAMMED INTO THE RADIO TO OPERATE
THE GX3000S DSC FUCTIONS.

How can I obtain an MMSI assignment?
Boat US offers online registration of a MMSI. Visit www.boatus.com/mmsi
