Weather decoder FMD15

Der FMD15 is an automatical weather- and warning message receiver. 
It is a standard NAVTEX-receiver for the international frequency 518 kHz including a selectable frequency for the receiving of weather data  for professional mariners.It receives and memorizes all messages from selected NAVTEX-stations. They can be printed at once or on demand with the internal printer. The built-in receiver has a fixed frequency for weather data. You can choose between north sea, baltic sea and the mediterranean sea. With the programmable timer up to 9 weather reports per day can be received and saved automatically. The text decoded reports can be read on the display and printed partly or as a whole text. A four- line, backlit display and the sprayproof, clear keypad guarantee an easy and comfortable operation. After programming  transmitting times, you will have up- to- date weather reports just by pressing a button. The best receiving quality you will have in the areas A1 and A2. While receiving weather data strong interferences from the surrounding are eliminated because of the narrow band filtration of the input signal.It is a "stand-alone"-instrument, that can be left in a standby mode because of its low electric power consumption.

•  Receiver 
The NAVTEX 518 kHz frequzency is preprogrammed, the frequency for weather reports can be set for the area you are in (e.g.147,3 or 10.100,8 kHz). 

•   NAVTEX-Decoder
