An ATIS ID is only required in certain EU countries when navigating
some inland waterways. It is usually a different number to your
MMSI.

If you need to have the MMSI in the radio changed, the radio must
be taken back to your Lowrance dealer.
ATIS
Automatic Transmitter Identification System (ATIS) is required for
vessels making VHF transmissions whilst on the inland waterways of
the Regional Arrangement Concerning the Radiotelephone Service
on Inland Waterways (RAINWAT) signatory countries.
RAINWAT is an agreement to implement common principles and
rules for the safe carriage of people and goods on Inland Waterways.
The signatory countries are: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, the
Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Moldova,
Montenegro, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Serbia, the Slovak
Republic and Switzerland.
Where a VHF is required on the inland waterways of the signatory
countries, this must be capable of ATIS transmissions, and have the
feature activated. An ATIS number is required which is issued by
Ofcom when you add one or more pieces of ATIS equipment to
your Ship Radio Licence.
If you don't have a user MMSI or ATIS ID, contact the appropriate
licensing authority in your country. If you're unsure who to contact,
consult your Lowrance dealer.
