Assigning Authority (USA and Canada) Thank you Rick for your detailed reply. I think my question still boils down to whether a DSC All Ships Distress Alert sent e.g. from Bahamian waters from a radio with a BoatUS-issued MMSI would be treated equally as a boat with a (U.S.) federally issued MMSI

I don't think the functionality of the radio or DSC is compromised simply because you travel outside of US waters I also don't think radios in other countries are designed to screen out calls with the "wrong" DSC number. Put in the situation you speak of, I wouldn't hesitate to place a DSC distress

To start, "they" may not be able to determine the boat information from the database. Beyond that, it may give that foreign government grounds to fine you. Remember the DSC distress call includes your location info. Josh On Jan 15, 2016 6:44 PM, "bobmor99 . via CnC-List" wrote: > Just read the

Just read the nice BoatUS MMSI FAQ. https://www.boatus.com/mmsi/faq.asp As I understand it, both Canadian and US boaters have a choice for quick-easy-free MMSI number assignment (by Industry Canada or BoatUS) or a slower, not-free gov't issued MMSI number (which ends in a zero). Non-gov't issued
