Description
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.

Ratings and Reviews
Amazing ....but
I have a receiver Tecsun PL-880 - brilliant, which I use with this app and an iPad. They are connected with an apogee jam soundcard\lightning port from the 3.5mm jack line out of the Tecsun. Once tuned I can record NAVTEX with no sound from the radio. Equivalent equipment would cost more than the combination and I still have the radio, lightning adapter and iPad for other use. I only gave four stars because it has not changed much since I bought it in 2014. It could use some more user friendly record buttons and maybe an easier tuning display although it works. Schedule is all important with this so some sort of alert for local stations about to transmit would also be good. Thanks for creating this app.
It works
Great app walked away from radio with iPad close by came back 1hr later lol navtex on screen 73's looking foreword to using it more thank you
So far unimpressed
Fed it a nice clean 170 shift signal at 45 Baud via the microphone, in a quiet room. Meters showed that the tuning was accurate and shift etc was correctly set. No sensible decoding whatever. I didn't expect too much from an audio link, but should have seen something.
