Features
NAVTEX (Navigational Telex) is a world wide coastal telex broadcasting system.
Coastal NAVTEX broadcasting stations with specific ID’s transmit Navigational
warnings. Meteorological warnings, Search and Rescue (SAR) information and
other navigational information for NAVTEX receiver-equipped vessels sailing in
coastal waters.
The FURUNO NX-700 NAVTEX receiver receives NAVTEX messages and
automatically displays them together with station ID and message category
information.
If ship’s position data is fed from navigation equipment, the NX-700
automatically decides in which NAVAREA the vessel is navigating, and selects
stations. (NAVAREAs are geographical zones defined by the international
Maritime Organization.)
