Viewing & Scrolling Through Navtex Messages
To view Navtex messages you must first select the Navtex Mode.
Use the right hand softkey to change modes until ‘Navtex Mode’ is
visible in the right hand softkey menu box. You can now use the
UP,
DOWN, LEFT & RIGHT keys to scroll through the displayed
messages.
UP & DOWN scroll line by line, whereas LEFT & RIGHT
scroll message by message.
The messages currently displayed are a sub-set of all the messages
stored in memory. Whether you can see a particular message or not
depends upon the current station selection, message filter and age
limit settings (see following sections for details).
Message Storage
All received NAVTEX messages are stored in memory regardless of
whether you have them selected for viewing or not. The Nav6plus
has lots of memory so you will easily have enough storage for all
messages received in any 72 hour period. The messages displayed
are selected from the Nav6plus’ memory by applying the current
message filter preset & age limit settings. This enables you to
change your mind later about your message display options. This
means you will still be able to view messages that were received
previously, but were not selected for display at the time, by changing
the current message filter or age setting.
After using the Nav6plus for a while you may notice that if you
receive a particular message more than once there will only ever be
one copy in view. If a message has been received more than once
the Nav6plus will store only the best version. It even attempts to
repair corrupted messages using comparing copies of the same
message!
Filter Presets
The messages currently available for viewing on screen are selected
from the messages stored in memory by applying ‘filter presets’.
To see the current selected filter presets go to [Navtex Mode⇒
⇒⇒
⇒Filter
View]. You will notice that the left hand softkey is labelled ‘Preset’
and a number from 1 to 5 is visible. This is the currently selected
filter preset number for the this ‘filter page’. Each of the 4 filter pages
(518 Types, 518 Stns, 490 Types & 490 Stns) has its own 5 presets.
In any one of the filter pages press
PRESET to change the preset
number. You will notice that the settings on the screen change with
