Just picked up a handheld with no clue how to set it up. Thanks for the mmsi information. Have a great one

[@ericmccarthy5235]

Lot of good info I didn’t know about

[@user-jz4mr5kc5g]

Very informative.

[@AquaLifestyle]

Glad it was helpful!

[@briansupermag3918]

Thx for explaining this. Question for you... i do a lot of kayak fishing in NJ back bays and into the ocean. I just purchased this vhf and wanted to know if i can get a MMSI# for my kayak? Thank you

[@briansupermag3918]

Actually just got my MMSI# from usps. Thanks for the video it helped a lot

[@AquaLifestyle]

Thanks and we are glad it helped. Happy paddling and tight lines.

[@TheCasemiester1111]

Hi Aqua Lifestyle, great video! I went to the site filled out all the registration info, do they review it and email the MMSI # at a later date or is it automated? Got to the end of the form and it seemed like it might not have gone through. Thanks

[@DavidOlan19]

Same happened to me. Did you received your MMSI # later thru email?

[@MoggAndrew]

I just bought a handheld VHF Radio (Icom IC-M94D) with GPS and AIS receiver but I don't have a boat of my own. I am chartering a variety of different boats to sail on the San Francisco Bay and bought the radio to carry with me whenever I sail on any boat. The radio won't let me use any of the functions without entering an MMSI Number first so how do I get one without owning a boat? Thanks.

[@jordanbeyer7607]

An MMSI number is given to a boat. Not a radio. So ideally you need a boat for and shouldn't be using it untill you get one anyways as it's not allowed for land transmission

[@MoggAndrew]

@@jordanbeyer7607 well... Yes and no. It is supposedly given to a boat but you don't have to stipulate a specific boat for a portable system. When I got my MMSI number on my handheld iCom I was able to tell them I had a Dinghy Sailboat that doesn't have a name or registration and they are fine with that. I got it through Boat US.

[@VifferDude]

MMSI in Australia is $400. You have to do a Short Range Radio Operators course at $300 plus a $90 fee for the number.

[@AquaLifestyle]

Thanks for the info. I was told there were fees in other countries but I had no idea it is so expensive in Australia. It is a shame that an important safety feature comes at such a high price there.

[@Nobamaable]

what a damn money grab!

[@andytokasz2222]

How do you get a mmis for a non registered water craft like a kayak?

[@AquaLifestyle]

You can do so from the sites listed in the video but just as a portable unit not assigned to a vessel. The Coast Guard does not have a formal category for such a radio at this time but in the description you can list it as portable.
