You can do it all on line via the offcom website , and it's free , you get an mmsi no and a licence , I did it but sold my boat and kept the radio for my new boat and I think it's all bolloxed up now as apparently the mmsi no stays with the boat and once it's in the radio you can't get it back out again or something like that
Anyway , if you want one go on the offcom website

register first, then apply online, stick the details of the boat in and you get a ships licence, call sign and mmsi number


mmsi number does stay with the boat.

what radio is it? you can get them reset, or do it yourself if you know what buttons to press

just done it all recent as mentioned in previous posts all done on line via the ofcom site. You get all the numbers you require.

I'm sure you can change the boat details on line if you sell it.

Sure this licence allows you to use the radio in times of emergency which is the only time I would use it realy. Handy to have a print out of the emergency procedure handy if needed.

Good luck connected the gps and radio they can be a bugger sometimes......

good luck
