An MMSI number is required to operate the Digital Selective Calling (DSC)
equipment in this radio. In some areas, a radio operator license is required
before an MMSI number will be issued. You can request an MMSI number
from the same agency that issues radio operator licenses in your area. You
can then program the MMSI number into your RAY230E using the Menu
Operation described in this handbook. If regulations in your area do not
permit you to program the MMSI number yourself, your Raymarine dealer
can program the number for you.
