Description

From the listing uploaded by “edgarmarket”.

Are you on a ship? Do you need to be able to receive up to date weather and marine safety transmissions? NAVTEX Decoder lets you view NAVTEX marine weather transmissions on your Android device. 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, 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. Most NAVTEX transmissions are on 518 kHz. If you tune in to NAVTEX via USB mode, set your radio to 515.8 kHz USB, set the frequency in the app to 2200 Hz, turn off invert mode, and when the next scheduled transmission begins, NAVTEX pad will start decoding.

NAVTEX Decoder APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the NAVTEX Decoder APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 90d0af7ebccce0cc3a4e1d3ccb441882.
