![]() In some cases you can only enter it once, so you'd better get it right first time! Some other manufacturers allow up to three updates of the MMSI. However, there's a but (and it's a big one!): the transceiver manufacturers and the authorities put a restriction on the number of times you can change the MMSI number. The number appears on the licence and you program that into your radio using the setup menu(s). All great in theory: you change your licence details on Ofcom's website and eventually your ship/boat is allocated an MMSI number. Part of this is a unique identifier called the Maritime Mobile Service Identity (get me I remembered that from memory!) for the ship/boat which you program into the radio. Now I understand that Digital Selective Calling is a wonderful thing and it can make emergency calls as easy as a few button presses. Okay, as all you blog followers know I'm always out for the thrifty option when it comes to things. ![]()
