MMSI, DSC and location awareness
Hello all.
I should be ready to start the hunt for tuna in early June.
I have two (2) Icom MC504 VHF radios. I have a MMSI number for the boat.
I have a Furuno MFD12 and two (2) Furuno GPS antennas. All are properly configured. I just have to plug in the MMSI number.
Has anyone used the MMSI number for send and receive coord with friendly ships and then plotted them to your GPS screen?
From what I understand, if you have my MMSI and I have your MMSI we can exchange position, with the click of a button and engage in (relatively) secure comms via VHF.
Do I have this correct?
Anyone want to start a SB MMSI pool? I will mostly be out of Narragansett bay, east of BI, and CCB. I am a newbie to this game, but share very accurate G2.
