Viewing and Scrolling through NAVTEX messages
To view NAVTEX messages you must first select the NAVTEX View Screen. Press and hold the
Home key until the NAVTEX View Screen is displayed.
Note: This assumes the NAVTEX View has not been reordered and is still the first View as from
the factory.
You can now use the UP, DOWN, keys to scroll through the displayed messages. If you press
and hold the keys the scroll speed will increase so you can scan through the messages more
quickly.
The messages currently displayed may be 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 NAV6 has lots of memory so you will easily have enough
storage for all messages received.
The messages displayed are selected from the NAV6 memory by applying filters to show
messages from transmitting stations and types of messages required. 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 station and message filters.
