11.7.1 Setting up a Group Call
For this function to operate the same Group MMSI must be programmed into
all the DSC VHF radios within the group of vessels that will be using this fea-
ture. The group MMSI is a nine digit (first digit permanently set to “0”) that will

nouncements on a predetermined channel.
