NAVTEX (Navigational Telex) is a worldwide 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-300 NAVTEX receiver receives NAVTEX messages and automatically
displays them together with station ID and message category information.
The service range of a NAVTEX station is typically 200-400 nautical miles. A NAVTEX station
normally broadcasts every 4 hours.
The NAVTEX message is relevant for all types and sizes of vessels. The NX-300 is shipped
from the factory equipped to receive 7 specific types of NAVTEX messages from all NAVTEX
stations. However unnecessary stations can be rejected or necessary stations can be added by
the "manual station selection" facility.
If ship's position data is fed from navigation equipment, the NX-300 automatically decides in
which NAVAREA the vessel is navigating, and selects stations. (NAVAREAs are geographical
zones defined by the International Maritime Organization.)
