Navtex Plugin

MGrouch's idea

https://github.com/astuder/dAISy/issues/11
based on success of dAISy AIS might be you could make
a small NavTex receiver connectable
via USB. And outside antenna. There is one NASA Marine PC NavTex USB
which is way too expensive.

There is software too to display messages https://github.com/juerec/pc-navtex
The program PC NAVTEX works together with the NAVTEX receiver "PC NAVTEX USB" from NASA.
You can download, read and store messages received by this device.
PC NAVTEX ist tested under Linux systems, on PC and on Raspberry Pi 3B+.
Other platforms possible too. The program is written using the Qt framework. There no platform specific features used. So, a port to Windows should be able without any changes.


This would be a good resource. Are the channels for AIS adequate?

I think Navtex is somewhat different frequencies however


https://www.google.com/search?client...ex+frequencies


NAVTEX broadcasts are primarily made on the medium frequencies of 518 kHz and 490 kHz. The international NAVTEX frequency is 518 kHz, and these broadcasts should always be in English. National transmission of NAVTEX, where supported, uses 490 kHz specifically for broadcasts in local languages.


This might be an ideal addon to weatherfax_pi

Re: Navtex Plugin

The trouble is you need a medium frequency receiver and the fellow who makes the dAISy AIS receivers decided it would not be worthwhile.

(medium frequencies of 518 kHz and 490 kHz.)

Re: Navtex Plugin

Well, yes. I'm also not sure how big the demand is in these times of Internet.

Inbetween I bought a used Weather Infobox WIB3
WIB3
to play around a little bit...

Re: Navtex Plugin

NAVTEX fills a similar void to that filled by WeFAX on HF, i.e. when out of range of VHF, WiFi, mobile phone networks, satellite, etc.
There is no problem tuning NAVTEX, WeFAX, RTTY weather reports, SYNOP, and AIS on the same RTL-SDR V3, i.e. MF thru' to VHF, and even UHF. MF and HF can use the rigging as an antenna, and AIS will tune on the marine VHF antenna. The app MULTIPSK can tune these devices directly and also decode NAVTEX, WeFAX, RTTY, SYNOP and more. OpenCPN WeFAX plugin for Windows needs an audio signal piped to it, but it's digital processing is better than any of the other apps I've used. And it's automated scheduler is also a bonus.
As has been mentioned elsewhere on the forum, smartphone apps are available to decode the audio for NAVTEX etc that is tuned on a broadcast radio fitted with a BFO circuit, but they are not as user friendly and the quality of the output is poor.

This is very interesting Weatherinfobox
What was the cost?

I bought a used one via ebay so I got it for 200€ (225US$).

Re: Navtex Plugin

MULTIPSK also decodes NMEA frames from AIS and ADS-B which some users send to OpenCPN and Google Earth. With this compatibility and versatility it would seem that a good amount of short circuiting rationalization and efficiency could be achieved by formalizing the link up procedure for day to day users. See recent msg on the MULTIPSK forum, multipsk@groups.io, from it's designer:

Subject: Re: [multipsk] ADS-B/NEMA GPS Frames
Hello Jeremy,
When you open the Windows task manager, at how much is the physical memory?
>I tried installing a virtual comport program com0com, which upon installation installed com ports on 3 & 4. I was then able to select say com port 3. >However when I selected com port 3 on OpenCPN (destination application) serial connection, alarm bells went off and I saw many small windows

Of course if you select serial number 3 on Multipsk, you should select the serial number 4 on OpenCPN.
Note: with Googleeath, this function works well:
- if the "GPS" button is pushed, all the received ADS-B positions are transmitted, via a $GPGGA NMEA GPS frame, to any cartography application able to manage GPS frames in real time (as Google Earth). The user must first select a serial port (physical or virtual) in the "Serial port for GPS" menu, on the Configuration screen.
For an application on the same PC, it will be necessary to install a virtual serial link with 2 serial ports (with the "Com0com" program for example). A serial port will be configured on Multipsk and the other will be scaned by the cartography application. Note that the plane identifier is not transmitted via the GPS frame.

Note: to start the real time GPS tracking on Google Earth, it is necessary to:

click on "Tools > GPS",
click on "Realtime",
check "NMEA",
set the polling interval to 1 second,
check "Automatically follow the path",
click on "Start".

See https://support.google.com/earth/answer/148095?hl=en for more information.

They come with a little Windows program to display messages and barograh data. I never bothered, but it shouldn't be too difficult to reengineer this for other platforms.

Re: Navtex Plugin

Thonglor,
As OpenCPN already displays data from NMEA 0183 sentences, WeFAX, etc, received via $20 rtl-sdr dongles, other data decoded by MULTIPSK from SYNOP/SHIP reports and weather balloons might also be plotted or displayed as appropriate. At present, OpenCPN on Linux can control these dongles, but the Windows version cannot. MULTIPSK could be the solution for the Windows version, and also provide a range of other modes all from one app. A clear set of instructions to achieve a link up like that shown by the MULTIPSK user would be welcome for day to day users like me.

Re: Navtex Plugin

But Navtex doesn't come as NMEA stream - so where's the relation?

It's all ASCII text !

On a serious note, it would take a lot of programming effort and computing power to perform the natural language processing to geoparse something like:

The whole thing sounds nice in theory, but FFS.
