🔍 Key Concepts

• MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) programming rules for DSC VHF radios • Manufacturer controls and limitations on changing or erasing an MMSI once stored • Differences between what a user can do from the front panel vs. what requires factory/service intervention

💭 Think About

• If a radio refuses to accept a new MMSI, what does that tell you about how many times the MMSI is allowed to be entered from the keypad? • Which options describe something the operator can safely do, and which involve the manufacturer or authorized service handling a locked memory? • What would be the most compliant and technically correct way to ensure the radio’s MMSI matches the new vessel/owner, following official procedures rather than work‑arounds?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which choice matches the common rule that most DSC VHFs only allow one or very limited MMSI entries from the user interface. • Verify which option relies on proper manufacturer procedure rather than a user ‘trick’ to bypass the lockout. • Eliminate any options that would leave the radio with an MMSI that does not belong to the current vessel/owner.
