RCV NOTIFY: The raw NAVTEX signal can be monitored through the monitor speaker by turning RCV NOTIFY on. The default setting is OFF.

RCV ALARM: The audible alarm may be generated when message type A, B, D or L is received. The default setting is ON.

KEY BEEP: The equipment can emit a beep tone when a control is operated. The default setting is ON.

ERROR RATE: When character error occurs due to noise interference during signal propagation, erroneous character is displayed as “∗ ”.

Error Rate means character error rate and is calculated as followed:

Error Rate = number of erroneous characters ⎟ total number of characters received ⋅ 100 (%) (Total number of characters includes space, line feed, carriage returns, etc.)

When the character error rate is within the percentage you set (0-39%), the NX-300 displays the message and stores it. When it exceeds the percentage you set, the NX-300 neither displays nor stores the message. You may set the threshold level of character error rate as desired and the default setting is 33%.
