Features & Capabilities

NAVTEX Pad lets you view NAVTEX and Radio Teletype (RTTY) marine weather transmissions on your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. Just set it near a radio (or for better quality decoding, connect a cable from the radio's audio output jack to the microphone jack), tune in a NAVTEX frequency (usually 518 kHz), and watch the transmissions.

NAVTEX weather and marine safety messages are transmitted from dozens of sites around the world. Now you can display these messages without buying a dedicated NAVTEX receiver.

Both BAUDOT and ASCII RTTY can also be decoded. The shift and baud can can be selected from the standard values.

You can also save your received text to view later, or transfer to your computer via iTunes.

Schedules of upcoming NAVTEX transmissions are available within the app, so you'll never miss one.

Buy your copy of NAVTEX pad today, and never be without up to date marine weather information again.

User Reviews

Clunky and not reliable. Does not work as advertised in my experience and I’m dissatisfied
by Br*****, 2023-07-03

Downloaded this as it says it also decodes RTTY. When you open the app, even with ZERO audio input, the very cartoonish 1980s spectrum display dances like it’s on fire. (Not even close to accurate.) This program decodes garbage with ZERO signal being injected/received. The SETTINGS are extremely rudimentary, and the FAQ is a joke. I have not tried the other stuff, nor NAVTEX functions, but I wish I had read the other reviews before I wasted $8 on this package. Don’t make my mistake.

Fails to copy even small fragments of 45b/170Hz rtty correctly under pristine (lab) conditions.
