DIY MMSI (re)programming

[pumukel3]

Can anyone guide me how to reset the MMSI on a SIMRAD RS35?
I searched all over the web but didn't find any help yet.

Hope you have some guidance for me!

Fair winds.

You got your answer in the other thread: bring it to a dealer. It was deliberately made impossible for users to reset their own MMSI. If your manual doesn't say how to do it, your only other option is to use your old MMSI.

Navico VHF MMSI reset procedure

1) Turn radio off

2) Simultaneously press X (or Exit) and Scan buttons and hold

3) Turn radio on, release both keys

4) Enter code 7100

Follow instructions for desired change.

Should work with:
Lowrance LVR 880/Link8
Simrad RS35
B&G V50

I can confirm that this works on Lowrance LVR 880 VHF

Here is another thread on the Icom units.... with how to program the 504 and 602 models, and 505 model can only be programmed once, that is when they are new.
see here for info: http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...re-198772.html

eh, 506 model didn't get a mention
Now checking the net for a manual.....
here: file:///C:/Users/hanko/Downloads/M50...ion-Manual.pdf
file:On page #8 there, it says that it only can be programmed once when they are new, and then it becomes a Icom technician job. ...unless one knows how to to do that with non-Icom authorised software.... I don't know that

Hi All,

Raymarine AIS-650. I saw the post: Yacht Electronics: SRT proprietary AIS commands. While this was reported to work with the AIS-500 and some other similar devices using that board, it does not work with AIS-650. One person suggests that maybe it is a password difference. This may be true, but I am also seeing distinctly different commands on the USB (NMEA) bus, so possible that it is more than just the password.

Here are some of the commands I am seeing:

$U0VSD,36,,,,,,,,*0D
$U0AIQ,VSD*51
$PSMT,0,0,0,1,nmeabaud 38400^2C4800,48*3E
and
$U0SSD,XXXXX,YYYYY,7,5,1,5,,AI*ZZ (X = call sign, Y = vessel name, Z = checksum)

I have not seen it send anything that looks like a password but since ProAIS2 is not updating the MMSI or resetting, it is probably not sending one.

I’ve done a bit of googling but haven’t seen documentation for the U0 or PSMT commands. Anyone have any ideas where I might find these NMEA/Raymarine commands?

Thanks

I heard this should work

$PSRT,012,,,(--QuaRk--)*4B
$PSRT,RDP*6F

Dearest Sailors,

thanks for starting this thread - I like it a lot!

I want to change the MMSI on a Raymarine 54E device. I know there is the factory reset in the menu, will that reset allow me to enter the MMSI again or do I need to tweak the 54E to change the MMSI?

Would love to hear from you if you have information this specific device. Thanks a lot and All the best to you!

Standard horizon matrix VHF owner weighing options on changing the MMSI. Anyone know of a way around sending the radio to the factory in CA? Thanks.

[Snore]

If there is a local authorized repair or installer, they would no the super secret key sequence.

[8fish]

Some of the newer versions of Standard Horizon's firmware allow you to reset your own MMSI. Contact them, and they will give you the procedure if your radio can do it. It's basically a public-key/private-key token that will unlock your specific radio. I think this is a fairly reasonable solution and follows within the nanny-state guidelines required by the FCC (with the "advice" of the manufacturer).

It's really quite simple. The problem is the cable set is pricey. Mine cost about $120. If OP is near Annapolis I can do it. If you have to ship you're better off shipping to the factory. Cheaper and faster.

The new to me boat comes with a Raymarine 55E. I have a new Canadian MMSI number. Is there an easy way to make the change on the unit, or must it be taken to a Raymarine dealer?

[Badsanta]

Follow the directions for programming it. If it dosnt work you have to have raymarine do it.
On Mine you can program it twice before factory reset.
