or you could try and find a local dealer who has the abilty to re-programme the unit.

We try to ensure that our bigger dealers have this ability.

I asked this at the boat show and they told me it was a simple matter of holding down 2 of the buttons ,the only problem is i cant remember which 2 !
Not much use but if you can get hold of Paul at Navman he should tell you . I cant give yopu the number as I have lost ALL my data due to a virus/hard drive failure and No I did not have a back up!!!!!!
I have a new hard drive instaled and0 still having problems with the virus from some of the old data so please back up everything you have and dont trust/rely on your anti virus to protect you . It has disabled Panda and attacked all my data files .
If you search NAVMAN posts I have listed Pauls phone number there somewhere .

I think u press and hold ENTER and CLEAR together

What is the perceived problem with being able to re-enter an MMSI? To be prevented just seems dopey to me.

if any old bod can change the MMSI number on a DSC, think of the abuse that could occur.

Senario.

You annoy one of the local yachties but, lets say allegedly speeding,
he get's drunk in the club bar,
decides on revenge by putting your MMSI number into his DSC, then pressing the distress button!

Who gets all the aggrovation from coastguard? You or Him??

I hope you can not reprogram 7100 MMSI number by just a couple of keystrokes.

[Jon Brooks]

Hi Kev

Would have to agree with that and am sure the RNLI, MCA and RYA would agree to.

Nah.. Frightened of the day you never saw.

He could just call a mayday in your vessel name...who would know?

So everyone (read huge number) who ever owns a DSC radio has to have it disabled just incase Joe Bloggs takes a dislike to you. Doesn't make any sense to me.

try paul david , e mail p.david@navimo.co.uk not the most speedy of folk in answering e mails though! Let us know if you get any joy- it would be handy to know.
We brought a Cygnus back from S Ireland last year for a mate after he had bought it over there. Really was a very nice boat but the mmsi was 123456789 allegedly ! At least that was programmed into the set! Surprisingly it did not figure on the mars site . The mmsi was however easily changeable after a short telephone conversation with the uk distributors who were really helpful-but it wasnt a navman. Would cock the system up if everyone made up their own mmsi's but obviously it does happen - particularly out in the back of beyond where this one came from it seems.

I had the same problem and took her to our main distributer. Took 5 minutes and 40 euro's and he programmed the new number for me.
He told me that he is the only one in Holland who could do this.

Yes you have read correctly; 5minutes/40 euro's.

[jwalker]

Ah, so that's the real reason....

As a RNLI ILB Helm, I've spent hours in the cold on hoax voice distress's. Yes DSC would pinpoint the hoax, but arses would still get dragged out of bed just in case! Only consolation being we would get back quicker.

DSC's would not be disabled, you would just need to go via a dealer when shifting from one boat to the next, not exactly a weekly occurrence.

Removing the option, prevents the problem.

All sorted now, thanks to kev @ yacht bits - what a star.

Its not as simple as simply as pressing two buttons. Theres codes and things to enter, best contacting your local plastimo dealer if you need to do it.
