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.
Reception of Navtex is normally limited to an area of 200 - 300 miles radius around each transmitting station, although considerably greater ranges are possible at night. Subject to IMO approval, additional local language transmissions may be made on 490 kHz and on 4209.5 kHz.
The NAV-7 can be setup to filter out stations and/or message categories that are not required by the User. The NAV-7 is capable of being connected to an Integrated Bridge System (IBS), transferring Navtex messages to other navigational aids if required. Note that the IBS must be compliant with the serial port requirements of IEC61097-6 (Ed 2.0).
If you are within an area where you are able to receive from many Navtex stations (particularly at night), the NAV-7 may overwhelm you with information. It can therefore be set up to display only those stations and message categories you want to receive and which are applicable to the area in which you are sailing.
