[OZAPRS] Maritime Mobile Service Identity

[Paul Mullins]

I though that the thread should be renamed a little
Lots of cool marine encoded data, after reading the manual for my 
fathers navman 7000 series radio, I started looking up MMSID and found 
this info

http://www.amsa.gov.au/Search_and_Rescue/Distress_and_Safety_Communications/Maritime_Mobile_Service_Identity/

Next thing I will have to find out is if a VHF marine licenses are on 
the vessel.

So the next time I am in the boat at dads place I am going to have a bit 
of a play with the radio and gps and find the 9 digit number the system 
has a nickname of SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) , personally I think its 
a great idea and plus he also has one of those new epirp that does gps 
positioning all great ideas.


  cheers all

Paul
