entered in radio before the DSC function can be enabled.
User MMSI
Enter an MMSI number to access the radio's DSC functionality. This
unique identifier must be supplied a local radio spectrum authority.
DO NOT enter a random 'made up' number.
¼ Note:
Contact a Simrad dealer if you need to change your MMSI
after initial input.
ATIS function (EU ATIS radios only)

signatory countries of the RAINWAT agreement. It should NOT be
used outside these regions. DSC functionality is not possible when
ATIS is turned on.
