MMSI Entry
Federal MMSI's (Maritime Mobile Service Identities) are issued by the
National Telecommunications and Information Administration. Non-
Federal MMSI's are issued by the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC). You will need to obtain a nine digit MMSI number and program it
into the MYSTIC. The information obtained from the application is useful
to the U.S. Coast Guard to help in search and rescue operations. You will
also need it to send and receive DSC calls.
To obtain an MMSI number, contact your authorized Uniden dealer or visit
one of the following websites: http://wireless.fcc.gov/marine/fctsht14.html,
www.boatus.com/mmsi/, http://www.maritelusa.com, or
http://www.4seatow.com.
