Group MMSI
:
Group MMSI numbers are not assigned by the FCC or other organizations
licensed to assign ship MMSI numbers.
The first digit of a group MMSI is always set to “0” by the international rules.
All Standard Horizon radios are preset so when programming a group MMSI
the first digit is set to “0”.
The USCG recommends programming the MID of a ships MMSI into the
second, third and fourth digits of the group MMSI as it denotes the area
the ship is located in.
The last 5 digits are decided upon by persons in the group. This is an impor-
tant step as all radios in the group must contain the same group MMSI so
they can be contacted by each other. There is a chance that another group
of vessels may program in the same group MMSI. If this happens, simply
change one or more of the last 5 digits of the group MMSI.
