ATIS
The Automatic Transmitter Identification System (ATIS) is
mandatory for vessels navigating on some European waterways.
The system allows authorities to monitor and regulate VHF radio
communications by identifying any vessel that makes a VHF
transmission. Each vessel is required to have an ATIS-enabled radio
on board and is allocated a unique ATIS Maritime Mobile Service
Identity (MMSI).
Each time a radio operator finishes talking and releases the PTT key,
the radio transmits a short digital message, which includes the ATIS
MMSI. The receiving station can then look up details of the vessel,
saving time in communication on the busy VHF channels.
Unlike DSC, the ATIS signal is transmitted on the same VHF channel
as the voice transmission.
Before you can enable ATIS, you must enter the ATIS MMSI. See
“Entering or checking your ATIS MMSI” on page 83.
Before you can enable ATIS, DSC must be turned off. See ”Enabling
DSC functionality” on page 84. To enable ATIS, see “Enabling ATIS
functionality” on page 83.
¼¼ Notes
•
ATIS is disabled in US models.
•
When ATIS is enabled, the ATIS icon appears on screen.
•
In some European countries SCAN functionality is limited, and, if ATIS
is enabled, the 3CH SCAN and Dual scan modes will be disabled.

AIS procedures
The marine Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a vessel location
and information reporting system. It allows vessels to automatically
share information such as position, speed, course and identity via a
VHF radio link.
The received details of nearby vessels can be displayed on the
handset screen together with closest point of approach times and
distances. These details are also sent to the NMEA ports for display
on a chart plotter if one is connected.
Closest point of approach (CPA) is the calculated closest distance
between your vessel and a target vessel based on the current speed
and course.
Time to closest point of approach (T/CPA) is the calculated time for a
target vessel to arrive at the closest point of approach based on the
current speed and course. If the radio detects that another vessel
will come closer than the set CPA distance and within the set T/CPA
time, the CPA alarm will sound. Both conditions must be met for the
CPA alarm to sound.
For information on enabling AIS and setting the CPA time and
distance criteria, see “AIS Setup” on page 88.
For general information about AIS, see “Appendix 9 - AIS
information” on page 105.
For information on how to configure your chart plotter or software
to make use of the RS90 AIS data, see the manual provided with that
product.
¼¼ Notes
•
Before the AIS functions can be used, the RS90 must receive its own
position from a GPS device, or manually entered data.
•
The RS90 VHF radio includes an AIS receiver but does not transmit.
•
To access the AIS displays:
Press [AIS]
•
Repeat press [AIS] to switch between the three available displays:
MMSI list (list of nearby vessels)
PPI display
T/CPA list
From any of the above displays, you can select an MMSI to display
details about the particular vessel.

Once the vessel is within alert distance (CPA) or time (T/CPA), it will
be placed in the T/CPA list.

Introduction to group MMSI
A group MMSI is a shared MMSI. When a DSC call is transmitted by
one of the vessels in the group, all the radios that have the same
MMSI entered will receive the message.
The RS90 radio can store up to 20 group MMSIs. In other words, you
can be in 20 different groups.
A group MMSI always starts with 0.
For information on sending a DSC group call, see “Sending a group
call” on page 50.
