MMSI number

How does one obtain a MMSI number for our new radio from BoatFix?

Thanks again!

Go to Boat US site or Sea Tow site to get a free MMSI number.

Unless you boat outside of US waters. Then you have to get one through the feds (FCC, if I remember correctly) so that other countries can recognize it. Of course, if you boat in other countries, you also have to get a VHF radio license from the feds. Go figure.

USPS (United States Power Squadron) can help you as well.

What's with the BoaterEd MMSI database from the RO Menu? It never seems to work for me either when entering the MMSI number or when trying to view the list of participants. Does anyone else have any luck with this feature?
