Questions and Answers

J
Jonathan JohnsonSep 9, 2025
Why DSC functions are not working on my Raymarine RAY91 Radio?
- M
  Matthew SampsonSep 9, 2025
  If DSC functions are not available or working on your Raymarine Radio, program your MMSI number. Remember that in the United States, this MUST be programmed into the unit by an authorized dealer. Also, confirm that the radio is not set to ATIS or Marcom-C mode, as DSC is not permitted in these modes. If you are not in an ATIS region, switch off ATIS mode via Menu > Set-up > ATIS set-up > ATIS.

- P
  Philip ReevesSep 12, 2025
  Alarm audio is not available on passive speakers connected to the second station connector of your Raymarine Radio. Alarm audio should still be heard via the second station handset.
