11.6 GROUP CALL
This feature allows the user to contact a group of specific vessels (example
members of a yacht club) with a Group MMSI number using the Group call
function to automatically switch to a desired channel for voice communications.
This function is very useful for yacht clubs and vessels traveling together that
want to collectively make announcements on a predetermined channel.
11.6.1 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 feature. To
understand about Group MMSI programming, first a Ship MMSI has to be under-
stood.
Ship MMSI: The first three digits called a MID (Mobile Identity Group) of a Ship
MMSI denote the country the ship registered for a MMSI. The last 6 digits are
specific to the Ships ID.
Ship MMSI Example: If your MMSI is “366123456”, “366” is MID which denote
the country and “123456” is Ships ID for you.
Group MMSI:
Group MMSI numbers are not assigned by the FCC or other organizations
licensed to assign ship MMSI numbers.
The first digit of a Group MMSI is always set to “0” by International rules. All
Standard Horizon radios are preset so when programming a Group MMSI the
first digit is set to “0”.
The USCG recommends programming the MID of a ships MMSI into the
Second, Third and Fourth digits of the Group MMSI as it denotes the area
the ship is located in.
The last 5 digits are decided upon by persons in the Group. This is an impor-
tant step as all radios in the Group must contain the same Group MMSI so
they can be contacted by each other. There is a chance that another group
of vessels may program in the same Group MMSI. If this happens, simply
change one or more of the last 5 digits of the Group MMSI.
