Uus NAVTEX

NAVTEX on kitsaribalise tähttrükkimise telegraafseade meresõiduohutusalase informatsiooni vastuvõtmiseks. Väike printer, kuhu teatud raadiosagedusel (518 / 490 kHz) saadetud info prinditakse otse paberile. NAVTEX-iga edastatakse ilmainfot, hädateateid, navigatsiooni- ja tormihoiatusi. Juba pikemat aega on see seade aga ajale jalgu jäänud ja nüüd on lõpuks ka selles osas uudiseid.

British Marine Electronics Association 28.01.2008: Marine Electronic Services Ltd have expanded their range of Wetterbox NAVTEX and weather receivers with the addition of two new models for 2008. First off is the WIB2BX – a black box Navtex receiver with PC connection that comes complete with either a balun antenna adaptor (allowing along wire or insulated stay to act as the antenna) or a dedicated compact active antenna. Sail boat owners will appreciate the ability to use a stay as an antenna without more mast head antenna clutter.

Users simply hook up a PC via a standard USB interface to display messages received and stored by the WIB2BX. The WIB2BX has also been designed with true dual channel receiver technology allowing simultaneous reception of the two (518/490KHZ) frequencies without user intervention. That means you'll always have the latest coastal and offshore weather information available from the two transmissions. It also incorporates a highly accurate (to 0.1hPa) barograph with 7 day log so pressure trends can be analysed to aid weather forecasting.

For users looking for a portable solution, the new WIB2B is available – a selfcontained, Navtex receiver building on from the WIB2 launched last year yet now with the additional barograph feature built in. This unit, about the size a pack of cigarettes, has a rechargeable battery and internal antenna incorporated for true portable operation – just plug into any windows PC with internet explorer to display the data.

Despite using a PC, no connection to the internet is needed nor charge for Navtex data is made.

Uus NAVTEX on astunud kompuutriteajastusse. Ka Mörer Schiffselektronik on tootnud mitu Wetter Infobox seadet, mis on samuti väikelaevnike jaoks.

USB-kaabli abil saab infot lugeda ka arvutiekraanilt, selle kaabli abil ka laetakse seadme akut, mis peab pidevas töörežiimis ligi 3 ööpäeva vastu. Uuenduslik ka see, et toimub sõnumite automaatne haldamine. Programm ühilduv Windows Me, 2000, XP, Vista, Mac OS-i ja Linuxiga. Samuti võtab seade vastu ka ilmafaxe (weather fax), mida saab ekraanilt ka näha.

Samas on jäetud ka kompuutrita info vastu võtmise võimalus – WIBD. Siseantenniga, lisaks sisseehitatud baromeeter. Autonoomse akuga peab vastu 2,5 päeva. Saab kõige värskema ilmainfo ja navigatsioonihoiatused. Selline võiks isegi kodus tiksuda.

Rohkem infot: Mis on NAVTEX, WIBflyer, McMurdo Navtex, MES Ltd.

Järgmine samm: Alden Weather System, AE-3300, AE-2000, juba on ka võimalus ilmainfo kandmiseks elektronkaardile.

Mina töötasin viimati veel sellise aparaadiga:

Furuno NX-500 on paljudel laevadel kasutuses, aga paber kippus meil alatasa otsa saama ja korduvad teated tegid info haldamise tülikaks. See seade on aga nüüd üsna odav.
