9.5 Setup Mode, NAVTEX View, 518 and 490 Names
Pages
The station names setup pages determine the
names of stations displayed on station filter pages
and in NAVTEX message headers.
The picture shows the ‘518 Names’ page; the ‘490
Names’ page is similar.
Use the UP and DOWN keys to select the setting
that you wish to edit. Use the LEFT and RIGHT
keys to change the setting.
The Station Name Selection setting allows the user
to select between ‘GPS’ and ‘Manual’ station
selection. If ‘GPS’ is selected the ICS NAV6 will
select the NAVTEX transmitting station name
nearest to the boat’s current location, but within the
same NAV area.
If ‘Manual’ is selected, then the user can manually
select the transmitting station name to be displayed
for each station letter.
(Tip : You may be sailing in Nav Area II and therefore will pick station names from Nav
Area II. However it is important to realise that the corresponding station letter in the
adjacent Nav Areas may be closer. For example, the ‘S’ station that you are receiving
is the ‘S’ station in an adjacent Nav Area).
