NAV6 Series NAVTEX System User Guide

In Range
NAVTEX stations have a declared transmission range which is stored in your NAV6’s station
database. With ‘In Range’ selected all messages from the stations that are in range of your
current position will be displayed.
Tip: Set stations that you want to ‘automatically select’ to Auto, and stations that you definitely
do not want should be set to Off. You may wish to set your ‘home’ station to On so that you
display messages from it even if it is currently not the nearest station to your cruising position.
Important (NAV6plus Only): You may wish to leave your NAV6plus running whilst your GPS
or instrument system is disconnected or switched off. If you do this then please be aware that
the Navigate data items derived from NMEA (including position) will time out after a short
while. If you have also opted to display only the ‘Nearest’ NAVTEX station or stations ‘In
Range’ then the NAV6plus will no longer have the required position data. It will revert to
displaying all stations that are set to ‘Auto’. As soon as the NMEA data becomes available
again only the ‘Nearest’ or ‘In Range’ stations will be displayed dependent upon your current
settings.
Manual Station Selection
You can manually select a station (or stations) by setting them to On or Off by using the UP
and DOWN keys to select them then the

Softkeys 2 and 3 or RIGHT key to toggle the

stations set to Auto.
Message Type Filtering
You can further reduce the amount of unwanted messages
that are displayed by applying a filter to the message types.
Select the Message Type Filter Page from the Settings
Menu.
Each message type can be turned On or Off or can be set to
New using the UP, DOWN, and
