Introduction 1
SAILOR 6390 Navtex Receiver
The SAILOR 6390 Navtex Receiver receives Navtex messages on the
international Navtex frequencies 490 kHz, 518 kHz and 4,209.5 kHz. It can
hold 2000 messages per frequency. Messages are not affected by a power
cycle. Untagged messages are cleared from the message log after 661
hours, you can tag messages for later viewing. You can customise which
stations to receive messages from and which message types you want to
receive. The unit has an alarm relay which is only activated if a message of
category D is received (i.e. SAR, Mayday relay, Pirate attack etc.). The
SAILOR 6390 Navtex Receiver is always on when powered. With its LAN
interface the transponder and the display can be separated, giving access to
the Navtex information available where it is needed.
