4-5 ATIS MMSI & ATIS Functionality
EU models ONLY
ATIS is only available in certain EU models. You must enter your ATIS MMSI to access ATIS
functionality. ATSI must be used if you are navigating inland waterways within Europe. An
ATIS MMSI is different to your DSC MMSI.
ATIS sends a digital message each time that you release the PTT key. Inland waterways rules
require 1 W Tx power on Channels 06, 08, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 71, 72, 74 and 77.
