The last 6 digits arespecific to the Ships ID.Ship MMSI Example: If your MMSI is “366123456”, “366” is MID which denotethe country and “123456” is your ships MMSI.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” by International rules.All Standard Horizon radios are preset so when programming a GroupMMSI the first digit is set to “0”.The USCG recommends programming the MID of a ships MMSI into theSecond, Third and Fourth digits of the Group MMSI as it denotes the areathe ship is located in.The last 5 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.

GX1600Page 10219 CHANNEL ASSIGNMENTSTables on the following columns list the VHF Marine Channel assignments forU.S.A. and International 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 inter-coastal 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.4. The S/D column on the chart indicates either S (simplex) or D (duplex).Simplex means transmitting and receiving on the same frequency. Onlyone party at a time can talk, unlike a telephone. Be sure to say “over” andrelease your microphone push-to-talk switch at the end of each transmis-sion. Duplex operation involves the use of one frequency for transmittingand a separate frequency for receiving. On channels specified as duplexon the charts, correct mode of operation is established automatically byyour radio when you select a channel; you cannot change the mode. Andyou still must release the push-to-talk switch after each transmission inorder 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.FCC ID:K6630483X3D / IC:511B-30483X3SVertex Standard Co., Ltd.
