Narrowcast uses two-way messaging to send your flight plan to the Avidyne Network Operations Center (NOC), which then sends you only the data pertinent to your flight and provides a web-based flight tracking capability. Due to variability in the ORBCOMM satellite signal used by Narrowcast, weather update rates may vary.
There is no pilot action that can be taken to re-acquire a satellite in the event of satellite and/or network problems. The EX5000 will continue to try to acquire satellites as long as Datalink is enabled. Normal operation will automatically resume once a satellite is re- acquired. 600-00102-000 Rev. 09 -97- Entegra EX5000...

About Multilink 10.8 About Multilink The Avidyne Multilink feature leverages the capabilities of the internal Narrowcast Datalink receiver when Broadcast Datalink is also installed. Multilink expands the weather coverage areas, as well as adding new features such as Datalink Messaging.
Using Multilink Features Expanded Coverage—When Multilink is enabled, the EX5000 ● sends the current destination and flight plan to the Avidyne Network Operations Center (NOC) just as it does with standard Narrowcast. On a Multilink-enabled unit, however, the NOC only starts sending weather data if it determines that the desired Narrowcast coverage area extends outside of CONUS.

Datalink Messaging and Flight Tracking available on all flights, you can de-select all weather types but leave Multilink enabled.
