Matsutec HP-628A - now out of the box

[JumbleDuck]

Richard, don`t say nonsense if you do not know.
China is a free country and chinese transponders are free of western goverment`s care of our souls.
Having Matsutec or ONVA you may change MMSI anytime.

From the Matsutec HP-33A Manual

2.7.1 Setting MMSI
1. Select MMSI item, Press ENT to enter the MMSI code setting mode.
2. Press ▲or ▼ key to input the specific 9-digit MMSI code.
3. Push ◀ or ▶ key to move the cursor forward or backward.
4. Push MENU/ZOOM key to cancel the modification, or press ENT to confirm the
modification.
Notes:
1. When the MMSI is “---------”, which means an invalid MMSI, the transponder
operates as just an AIS receiver.
2. If the MMSI code has already been set, you cannot change again.
3. If you enter a code that starts with “0” or “00,” it won’t be accepted and it will load
the previous MMSI code.

Oh dear Bratanek65 .... I reckon that yours must be the shortest forum existence of any user ever. One daft post and that's it ..... curtains!

I sell chinese transponders HP-33A and HA102 and there is NO ANY LIMITTION.
Propably thay were forced to change it for US market.

Hey mate is there any chance I could get a copy of those instructions on inputting an MMSI into the Matsutec please?
Thanks Brendan

You don`t need any instruction, just software you should receive together with your AIS. Unless you are from USA, where it is forbiden to change MMSI.
Free country

The set up instructions are seemingly missing a chapter.

Link here for you - please let me know how you get on.

Thanks so much. That made life so much easier. Don't know why they haven't included those instructions in the instruction book.
Maybe is a marketing ploy to get us posting about their products forums ??
Thanks again.

Having had the Matsutec HP-628A for almost two seasons, today I installed a newly imported HP-1228A.

The larger screen is superb, and install is simple because the connectors and GPS antenna are identical to the HP-628A, as are the set up and operating instructions.

I will be listing the HP-628A on the 'For sale' page shortly, but want to ensure the new set is working properly first.
