4. When all digits are selected, press and hold the CH knob to accept.
5. Re-enter all nine MMSI digits.
6. When complete, press and hold the CH knob to accept.
7. Press the CH knob one last time to save the MMSI ID number.
If the second entry does not match the first entry, the radio exits MY MMSI
ID and returns to the previous menu.
Note:
• You cannot begin the MMSI ID number with “0” (single zero), as this
prefix indicates a GROUP ID.
• You cannot begin the MMSI ID number with “00” (double zero), as this
prefix indicates a COAST STATION.
The Ray54E is designed to be used as a recreational Ship Station only.
Group MMSI Setup
This operation sets up the MMSI number that is used for DSC Group Calls
between radios that share a common Group MMSI number. You can program
up to three Group MMSI ID numbers and associated Group names, which
can be up to 11 characters long. Group MMSI ID numbers always begin with
a zero (0). You only enter the last 8 digits of the Group I D number; the initial
“0” is automatically entered for you.
