10.5 GROUP CALL
This feature allows users to automatically contact a specific group of vessels
using DSC radios with the group call function. The called radios can automati-
cally switch to the desired channel for voice communications. This function is
very useful for yacht clubs and vessels traveling together that want to make
communal announcements on a predetermined channel. Up to 30 group MMSIs
may be programmed.
10.5.1 Setting up a Group Call
For this function to operate the same group MMSI must be programmed into all
the DSC VHF radios within the group of vessels that will be using this feature.
To understand about group MMSI programming, first a Ship MMSI has to be
understood.
Ship MMSI
:
The first three digits called a MID (Mobile Identity Group) of a ship
MMSI denote the country the ship registered for a MMSI. The last 6 digits are
specific to the ships ID.
Ship MMSI Example
: If your MMSI is “366123456”, “366” is MID which denote
the country and “123456” is the vessel's MMSI.
