The broadcast stations transmit Navigational Warnings, Meteorological Warnings, Search and Rescue (SAR) information and other data for ships sailing within their service range. The service range is 200-400 nautical miles depending on the terrain and station transmit power; messages are broadcasted every 4 hours. The Navtex service on 490 kHz is available in the UK, France, etc., using their own languages. The NX-300 features multi-language processing. Every incoming message is identified and new messages are read on the high-contrast 4.5" silver bright LCD Nav Data Message List display; no paper is required. However, the message can be printed out via a PC interface. The broadcast station can be selected automatically according to own ship position when the NX-300 is connected with a GPS/DGPS navigator outputting position in NMEA 0183 format. The NX-300 consists of a compact, waterproof display and an antenna unit. The waterproof display unit can be installed in the flybridge or at any convenient place on the vessel.
