| Yachtbits Home | ICS Nav6Dual and Nav6plus Navtex Receivers |
The
NAV6 is the world’s first NAVTEX system to offer simultaneous dual channel (518 kHz and 490
kHz) reception as standard. Information is presented on a large and easy to read
LCD display, rivalling paper print-out for legibility. The ‘plus’ version
offers Navtex Data output and also acts as a NMEA Data repeater display when
connected to a NMEA
data source.
The
NAV6 adds a new dimension in NAVTEX functionality. All messages are received
into a large non-volatile memory for selective display by the user. Decide what
messages you want to view after they have been received. Unique iNEC
message processing decreases errors in received messages.
NAVTEX
is part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). It broadcasts
weather and navigation warnings, in English on 518 kHz every 4 hours from
transmitters around the world. Increasingly, local language and small craft
information is also transmitted on 490 kHz. The NAV6 and NAV6plus simultaneously
monitors
both channels.
ICS
NAVTEX receivers are in widespread use by the world’s merchant ships and
navies. Many shore-based NAVTEX messaging systems have also been supplied by
ICS.
Choose
from the NAV6Dual or NAV6plus according to your requirements and
budget.
With
navigation space becoming more and more restricted in modern boats, the NAV6plus
display concentrates all the data you need, where you need it. It takes critical
NMEA data from your GPS or instrument system and displays it in a highly
innovative manner. An electronic log book is updated at regular intervals and
can be printed out later (via an optional printer).
These
powerful Instrument/GPS repeater functions are included as standard in the
NAV6plus. The NAV6repeater can be purchased separately without NAVTEX sensor for
use as a stand-alone NMEA repeater.
