[IRCA] Navtex

[Rob Moore <rmoore5@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Brett,

I don't know if you saw my reply to Curt, but NAVTEX isn't SSB, just RTTY at 518Khz.  To get the best results, you need a fairly narrow band filter but many programs (I use SeaTTY) can filter the audio for you.  I don't have an SRF-59 yet but don't see why you couldn't receive it with one and a little luck.  

This bring up another question about the SRF-59/Ultralights:  Are you allowed to use a  computer with one? Does this mean that it's in the Supermodified category?  Many utilities pretty much require some sort of external decoder.

Thanks for saving me the trouble of cabling the SRF-59 to the computer Curt
 :-) 

Yes, I used the Coast Guard web page to figure out which NAVTEX station I
heard; Chesapeake is the strongest here, but Boston often comes in. Based on
the time, I figured it was VA,
