New WIB2D Portbale NAVTEX Available From MES

Marine Electronic Services Ltd has introduced the new WIB2D portable Navtex.  Smaller than a pack of cigarettes, it incorporates a sophisticated dual channel Navtex receiver and built-in LCD display to show weather and navigation information available from the free of charge Navtex system.  There is no need for an external antenna and it has a built-in rechargeable battery which can last up to three days.  It can also be connected to a PC, and the data viewed on screen or even printed out onto hard copy.

Both the 490KHz (for inshore forecasts) and the 518KHz frequencies are monitored simultaneously so you will never miss a message.  Its portable format is ideal for charterers or for grabbing the latest weather and nav information whilst at home or in the office prior to setting sail.  It is priced at £399 including VAT and is available from Marine Electronic Services Ltd.
