) - Serial numbers from 01 to 99 are given in NAVTEX Message.
NAVTEX Coordinating Station gives these serial numbers. As a special figure, “00” is used only for
significant texts such as rescue and it is unconditionally displayed on LCD screen. In case NAVTEX
receives any message with this kind of special figure, it is designed to always print out whatever
message it is. Therefore, the printing is strictly controlled. Other serial numbers, excluding “00” are
memorized in CPU and used to avoid printing repetitively any completely received text.
