15.2 Navtex Messages
Navtex (Navigational Telex) is an international automated medium frequency direct-
printing service for delivery of navigational and meteorological warnings and fore-
casts, as well as urgent marine safety information to ships.
Navtex messages can be received and read.
The [Receive Box] can store up to 500 messages. When the [Receive Box] is full and
a new message is received, the system automatically deletes messages, in order,
from the oldest message.
Note: If the message "Database access failure occurred. NAVTEX messages cannot
be received." appears, your Navtex database may be corrupted. Consult your dealer
for advice.
