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 any previously received messages that already show on the
display.
•
UP & DOWN keys scroll line by line
•
LEFT & RIGHT keys 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 and the sort order applied (see
following sections for details).
There is a dark coloured scroll bar down the right hand side of the
display to assist in navigating through the messages.
Message Storage
All received NAVTEX messages are stored in the NAV6 plus regardless
of whether you have them selected for viewing or not. The memory size
provides enough storage for all messages received in any 72 hour
period (in fact much longer). You can even change your mind later and
view a message that was received previously but not displayed at the
time by simply changing a 'filter preset' , message 'filter setting' or 'age
limit'.
•
Messages to be displayed are selected from the NAV6 plus memory
by applying a 'filter preset' and message age limit 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. The NAV6plus stores only the best version of a
message. It even attempts to repair corrupted messages by
comparing copies of the same message!
