1. Receiver
1.1. Operation
The receiver requires practically no operation.
The NAVTEX frequency (518.0 kHz) is pre-programmed
Further this model has one further pre-programmed frequency,
according to a defined sailing region.
The frequencies of a transmitting station are normally set down
internationally and are rarely changed. However, this pre-
programmed frequency has been allotted the following
parameters:
Morse
RTTY
SITOR-FEC
The message decoding mode has not been laid down, as it is
expected, that, in the next few years, various stations will change
their transmission from Morse or RTTY to SITOR-FEC. On the
following pages you can find a list of the present codes used.
It is not necessary to adjust the mode in the receiver. This is done
automatically, when selecting the decoding mode.
