1.3 Entering MMSI numbers
At the time of issue of your vessel’s radio license, an MMSI
(Maritime Mobile Service Identifier) must be requested. This is
a nine digit number which must be permanently entered into
the RD68, otherwise the DSC functions cannot be accessed.
NOTE If the boat or the RD68 are subsequently sold, the radio must
be returned to an authorised Simrad agent for the MMSI num-
ber to be erased and the new owner’s MMSI number entered.
For European leisure vessels fitted with VHF DSC equipment, a
CEPT Short Range Certificate is required by the operator.
Additional requirements, such as GOC or ROC may apply to
operators on commercial vessels. Please enquire with your
local licensing authority for full details.
