NOTE
The group MMSI is established by modifying the MMSI assigned to one (1) of the
group members. The last digit of that member’s MMSI number is dropped and a zero
(0) is inserted at the beginning. For example, member MMSI number 366123456
becomes group MMSI number 036612345.
Group MMSIs can be entered and changed any number of times without the need to
have your radio reset
