MMSI #2
« on: August 20, 2019, 02:27:17 PM »
Theres old threads (2016) on MMSI numbers.


Is it worth getting registered for coastal non-commercial users?


Are there any negatives to NOT entering in the number when purchasing new/second hand VHF DSC radios? Noted second hand units need to be sent back to dealers.

Hi, ....it is a SAMSA requirement. If there is an emergency the unit needs to send your MMSI number with coordinates to some relay station somewhere :dunno:
