Navtex is an international automated direct-printing service for promulgation of navigational and meteorological warnings and other urgent information to ships. It is one of the two principle methods used for broadcasting maritime safety information in accordance with the provisions of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, as amended.
The Navtex system is used for the automatic broadcast of localised Maritime Safety Information (MSI) using Radio Telex (also known as Narrow Band Direct Printing, or NBDP). The system mainly operates in the Medium Frequency radio band just above and below the old 500 kHz Morse Distress frequency. System range is generally 300 or so nautical miles from the …

Nov 17, 2016 . The Navtex service (short for Navigational Text) is the primary method of disseminating Marine Safety Information (MSI) out to 270 miles and is part of the integrated Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS).
It will display reliable information day after day within designated Navtex coverage areas. Installation is straightforward. Connect the NAV-7 to a 12 or 24 volt DC supply and connect a suitable antenna. Switch it on, and it will start displaying and storing Navtex messages without further manual intervention.

Navtex transmissions are deliberately kept at low power in order to restrict range, so avoiding inter-station interference. A good set should be defined as one that receives reliably within the normal ground wave foot print.

Navtex is an element of the IMO/IHO worldwide Navigational Warning Service (WWNWS) as defined by IMO Assembly Resolution A.706(17). It is included within the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). Since 1 August 1993, a Navtex receiving capability has become mandatory equipment for certain vessels under the provisions

It automatically receives Maritime Safety Information such as Radio Navigational Warnings, Storm/Gale Warnings, Meteorological Forecasts, Piracy Warnings, Distress Alerts, etc. (full details of the system can be found in IMO Publication IMO-951E - The Navtex Manual). The information received is printed on the receiver's own paper recorder roll.
National Navtex services usually use 490kHz. This may be received automatically on some dual-channel receivers but might have to be selected on others. Older sets usually only have the 518kHz channel.
Most coastal areas have good VHF reception, and, increasingly, good mobile data coverage, so on the face of it you’re unlikely to need Navtex for weather forecasts.
The NAV-7 is now ready to receive Navtex messages. fNavigating the NAV-7 user interface The NAV-7 has been designed to be easy to use with an intuitive user interface and softkeys.

A further drawback for day-sailors is that it’s not on-demand like internet weather – rather, the Navtex needs to be left on to receive messages as transmitted. That’s fine on a cruise when the power will be on constantly, but for weekend sailors it’s less useful.
