  • Page 7: Foreword

    Our extensive global network of agents and dealers furthers this dedication to excellence. The NX-300 is just one of the many FURUNO developments in the field of marine radio communication. The NX-300 provides cost-effective price, high sensitivity and simple operation in one compact and light-weight unit.

  • Page 8: Features

    The service range of a NAVTEX station is typically 200-400 nautical miles. A NAVTEX station normally broadcasts every 4 hours. The NAVTEX message is relevant for all types and sizes of vessels. The NX-300 is shipped from the factory equipped to receive 7 specific types of NAVTEX messages from all NAVTEX stations.

  • Page 11: Principle Of Navtex System

    1. PRINCIPLE OF NAVTEX SYSTEM How NAVTEX Works There are many types of navigational and meteorological information available on radio, such as NAVAREA, HYDROPAC, etc. However, these systems rely heavily upon the operator's experience and skill in tuning the radio and interpreting messages. In addition, constant monitoring to pick up wanted information among a vast volume of messages is not practical with a limited radio staff.

  • Page 12: Message Format

    1.3 Message Format For automatic identification of messages, each message starts with eight control characters, called "Header codes". The first four characters are always "ZCZC" and common to all messages. This part is used for message synchronization. The latter four characters are designated as b1, b2, b3 and b4 to indicate origin, category and serial number of the message.
