Re: DIY MMSI (re)programming

There are a couple of issues if you don't get it reprogrammed but you will need to decide if they are important to you :smile:.

No matter where you are or who you are, the first thing that happens...

Re: DIY MMSI (re)programming

^^ if the existing EPIRB is not GPS enabled, it might bet better to just spring for a new one with GPS. They aren't expensive, $250 Aussie will get a KTI SA1G with 10 year battery and warranty....

Re: DIY MMSI (re)programming

I think we are in general agreement; however to clarify,if you have radio equipment that requires a MMSI, then an MMSI will be issued (after applying etc).
