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.)
