FM-4000Page 4611.7 GROUP CALLThis feature allows the user to contact a group of specific vessels (examplemembers of a yacht club) that have DSC radios with Group call function toautomatically switch to a desired channel for voice communications.11.7.1 Setting up a Group CallFor this function to operate, the same Group MMSI must be programmed intoall the DSC VHF radios within the group of vessels that use this feature. Tounderstand about Group MMSI programming, first a Ship MMSI has to beunderstood.Ship MMSI: The first three digits called a MID (Mobile Identity Group) of a ShipMMSI denote the country the ship registered for a MMSI. The last six digits arespecific to the Ships ID.Ship MMSI Example: If your MMSI is “366123456”, for example, “366” is theMID, which denotes the country, and “123456” is the ID of your ship.Group MMSI:Group MMSI numbers are not assigned by the FCC or other organizationslicensed to assign Ship MMSI numbers.The first digit of a Group MMSI is always set to “0” in accordance withinternational regulations. All FURUNO radios are preset so when program-ming a Group MMSI the first digit is set to “0”.The USCG recommends programming the MID of a Ship MMSI into thesecond, third and fourth digits of the Group MMSI as it denotes the areathe ship is located.The last five digits are decided upon by persons in the Group. This is animportant step as all radios in the group must contain the same GroupMMSI so they can be contacted by each other. There is a chance thatanother group of vessels have the same Group MMSI as yours. If thishappens, simply change one or more of the last five digits of the GroupMMSI.1.

FM-4000Page 7615 CHANNEL ASSIGNMENTSThis chapter provides the VHF Marine Channel assignments for U.S.A. andInternational use. Below are listed some data about the charts.1. VTS. Where indicated, these channels are part of the U.S. Coast Guard’sVessel Traffic System.2. Alpha channel numbers, that is, channel numbers followed by the letter A(such as Channel 07A) are simplex channels on the U.S.A. or Canadianchannel assignments whose counterparts in the International assignmentsare duplex channels. International channels do not use “alpha” numbers.If you call the Coast Guard on Channel 16, they will sometimes ask you to“go to channel 22 Alpha.” This is a channel assigned to U.S.A, and Cana-dian Coast Guards for handling distress and other calls. If your radio is setfor International operation you will go to Channel 22 instead of 22A, andwill not be able to communicate with the Coast Guard. To use Channel22A, your radio must be set for USA or Canada operation, usually by a U/I/C (USA/International/Canada) control or combination of controls. Chan-nel 22 (without an “A”) is an International duplex channel for port opera-tions. Some radios indicate an “A” adjacent to the alpha channels on thedisplay; on others “alpha” is not indicated but the proper channel is se-lected based on the U/I/C setting.3. Bridge-to-Bridge channels (for example, Channel 13) are for use by bridgeoperators on intercoastal waterways and rivers. It is also used by marinevessels in the vicinity of these bridges for navigation and for communicat-ing with the bridge operators. Note that a limit of 1 Watt is specified forthese channels. See page 27 for additional information.4. The S/D column on the chart indicates either S (simplex) or D (duplex). Sim-plex means transmitting and receiving on the same frequency. Only one partyat a time can talk, unlike a telephone. Be sure to say “over” and release yourmicrophone push-to-talk switch at the end of each transmission. Duplex op-eration involves the use of one frequency for transmitting and a separate fre-quency for receiving. On channels specified as duplex on the charts, correctmode of operation is established automatically by your radio when you select achannel; you cannot change the mode. And you still must release the push-to-talk switch after each transmission in order to listen to the radio.5. Channels normally used by recreational boaters are those that include theterm “non-commercial” in the Channel Use column of the chart. Some ofthese are shared with other users and some are used only in certain geo-graphic regions.6. Marine vessels equipped with VHF radios are required to monitor Channel 16.
