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.
Visit the support page for step by step instructions for using the app: http://www.blackcatsystems.com/ipad/iPad_NAVTEX_Pad_FAQ.html
Buy your copy of NAVTEX pad today, and never be without up to date marine weather information again.

Lovely, with slight room for improvement
Decodes NAVTEX very well, especially with headphones put close to the microphone of the Apple device. The last star is reserved for a smart handling/sorting of incoming messages — don’t just display text but store the messages individually and don’t repeat display of messages already received earlier. Maybe a dream ;-)
