The called radios can automati- cally switch to the desired channel for voice communications. This function is very useful for yacht clubs and vessels traveling together that want to make communal announcements on a predetermined channel. Up to 32 group MMSIs may be programmed. 11.5.1 Setting up a Group Call For this function to operate, the same group MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity Number) must be programmed into all the DSC VHF radios within the group of vessels that will be using this feature.

$ 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 in order to be contacted by each other. There is a chance that another group of vessels may program the same group MMSI. If this happens, simply change one or more of the last 5 digits of the group MMSI. 1.
