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 all around the world.

Increasingly, local language and small craft information is also transmitted on 490 kHz. The ICS
NAV6dual can monitor both channels simultaneously.

The NAV6dual is a dedicated ‘true’ dual channel NAVTEX receiver. Both the detailed inshore waters forecast and the shipping forecast are automatically received without switching channels.

The NAV6dual offers the same high quality message presentation and dual simultaneous NAVTEX reception as the NAV6plus but without GPS or
NMEA repeater screens.
