The information obtained from the application is useful to the U.S. Coast Guard to help in search and rescue operations. To obtain an MMSI number, visit one of the following websites: http://wireless.fcc.gov/marine or http://www.boatus.com/mmsi/ This portion of the SETUP menu will allow you to program an MMSI, (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) for sending and receiving DSC calls.
