DIY MMSI (re)programming

[Capt Simon]

The Microsoft default USB driver will definitely not be correct.
You could try connecting to a Mac which didn't always need a 3rd party driver loaded for these type USB connections.
Or try to find what is the driver type for the True Heading from their website https://trueheading.se/downloads/. These may be newer drivers, or incompatible with your device, but could provide a hint of the comms chipset used, eg Prolific or generic FTDI etc, then you can try various versions of these drivers...

Thank You very much Simon. Really valuable hints.
And indeed, I found on the THeading downloads page some USB driver for a newer AIS model but let`s see if it work. Tomorrow shall try it on the boat. If any progress I`ll share it here on the Cruisers forum.
If no success, going to hunt for Apple iOs geeks.

Looking to change the MMSI on my new Raymarine AIS700. I mistakedly entered the wrong MMSI after being properly warned in the instructions. Fat-fingers and not checking my work... UGHHH. Anyway, I have PROAIS2 connected via a serial cable to NEMA and see data rolling along the screen. I believe all I need is the string Raymarine uses to reprogram. Anyone have any experiece with this that can help? Thanks in advance!

Hi Alan,
I am Ernesto, and also need to program my SH GX2200 radio MMSI. My boat "Falua" is in Montevideo, far south, and the option that SH/YEASU offered (send the radio to CA) is not feasible. Could I use your software?
My emails are ernesto@qualisyss.com and eco019@gmail.com
Thank you!
Best regards
Ernesto

The down side is the can not be self reset, have to have the correct software and the USB/Serial/RamMic cable adapter.

I have the software, and the cable set, I reset mine myself.

Where are you located?
Check with SH and see if there is a authorized center nearer you.

I can send the cable and software or you could send me the radio if nearby.
I'm in South Carolina

Hi All!
I used this sentences from another post in this forum and they worked for me using proAIS2. I resetted a Raymarine AIS700.

to delete the programmed MMSI number
This is followed by
$PSMT,0,3,0x2C75B2FA,1,delay 100,53*06
and then an MSSI programming command
Finally
$PSMT,0,3,0x2C75B2FA,1,bootcmd 0,56*0B

Hope it helps.
