Adding a Vessel Group to Your Contacts

A vessel group can be added to your directory under a special group MMSI number. Calling the group MMSI number calls all vessels in the group at the same time.

When you add a vessel group to your directory, your vessel becomes part of the group. Calls placed to the group are received by your radio and all other radios within range that have added the group MMSI number to their directories.

  1. Select Menu icon > Directory.
  2. Select Vessels with plus sign.
  3. Enter a group name and MMSI number.
    NOTE: Group MMSI numbers do not require registration, but there may be local guidelines for selecting a group MMSI number for your use.
  4. Select Add Group to Contacts.

The vessel group is added to your directory. Your radio receives DSC calls to the group's MMSI number, in addition to your vessel's own MMSI number.
