My ATIS ID
If you purchased your Ray54E to include use on the inland waterways of the
contracting governments of the Basel Agreement, your Ray54E has been
programmed by your dealer to include Automatic Transmitter Identification
System (ATIS) functionality. The Basel Agreement includes Germany,
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, France, Hungary, Luxembourg,
Moldova, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russian Federation, the
Slovak Republic, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Ukraine and the
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
ATIS includes data at the end of radio transmission that identifies your
station. Your ATIS ID number is derived from your vessel’s call sign. Your
authorized Raymarine dealer can assist you in decoding the number. You can
then program the ATIS number into your Ray54E using the operation
described in this section. If regulations in your area do not permit you to
program the ATIS number yourself, you can have your dealer program the
number for you.
Note: The ATIS ID number is a ten digit number, beginning with a “9”. The
MY ATIS set up process has you input only the last 9 digits. The leading “9”
is automatically input for you.
This is a one time operation. After the ATIS number has been programmed:
• you will not be able to change it, only your dealer/distributor can do this
• accessing this menu item will display the programmed ATIS number
