That's why Alden's new Marinefax® prints Navtex emergency bulletins when they happen—breaking into charts if necessary. Navtex is a new information service for mariners. Emergency Navtex messages include storm warnings, search-and-rescue, plus changes in navigational aids. Non-emergency messages include weather reports, plus information on Loran, Satnav and other electronic nav systems. Marinefax TR-IV stores non- emergency messages in memory, to be printed when you choose. But emer- gency messages are printed immedi- ately, interrupting any other function. Marinefax TR-IV is a complete marine information center, with three modes of operation: in addition to weather charts and Navtex, we've added radioteleprinting for non-marine news and weather information. For mariners who only need weather and oceanographic charts, Alden contin- ues to offer Marinefax TR-I. You can program either Marinefax to collect charts and messages, even when you're not around. The liquid crystal display leads you through, step- by-step, then Marinefax does the rest. For more information on Marinefax TR-IV or TR-I, contact Alden Electronics, 48 Washington Street, Westborough, MA 01581 (508)366-8851.
