an ATIS ID number from the same agency that issues radio operator
licenses in your area. You can then program the ATIS number into your

can have your authorized Raymarine dealer program the number for you.
If outfitted with the optional Full Function Handset, the RAY215E is
fully Class "D" DSC compliant and therefore may, by regulation, disable
ATIS when it is not required.
