Navtex Pad

Would be worth more money to Black Cat if they gave it away for free and charged for a user manual. A total POC! Do not buy this!

very poor no instruction or guidelines .app dose not work for me
Just a novelty

By G4gene (Pcmac user)

The least they could do is deliver it configured for US Navtext stations which are like most of the world, or with instructions for same, but no. The instructions just list the settings with barely enough detail that someone knowledgable about the technicalities of Navtext could figure the rest out. Does it work? Yeah, sort of, if you ever figure out the settings and are having a good day on the radio. But if you’re serious about receiving Navtext broadcasts, which means you’re offshore 200 miles or more, you wouldn’t want to be depending on this app for your weather. So far I’ve managed to receive about 50% of a Navtext broadcast and the novelty has worn off.
Great!!! Decodes NAVTEX perfectly!

Great tool for DXing! My first night with this app, I logged 5 different the app signals on the east coast!! Directions on Black Cat's website may be a little easier to understand than the ones contained in the app. Also the app records broadcasts as text files - just remember to select "create a new file" and to clear what youve already received from the main screen for each instance otherwise it all ends up in one text file. BRILLIANT!!
