3.2.3 Group MMSI
For boats that are part of a flotilla, racing/fishing fleet or other
group, a Group ID MMSI number can also be entered and used
to contact other boats in the same fleet.
NOTE The Group MMSI number may be allocated on a temporary
basis by the local administration, for this reason the number
can be changed by the user.
From the Numbers menu (section 3.2) select Group MMSI - the
display will show “Group MMSI” and the Group MMSI num-
ber (unless the number has not been entered yet, in which case
it will show “0 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _”).
To enter the Group MMSI number press Ok again. The display
will show ENTER MMSI and the first dash in the number will
start flashing to indicate that entry can begin.
The first digit of a Group MMSI is always 0, and this is prese-
lected by the radio. Enter the remaining 8 digits using the
numeric keypad and press Ok (Fig 3.7) -
