224. How can reception of certain NAVTEX broadcasts be prevented?

NAVTEX receivers allow operators to program the rejection of specific transmitting stations and message categories, which is the standard method for preventing reception of certain broadcasts. This functionality is mandated by SOLAS and the IMO NAVTEX Manual, enabling filtering based on station identifiers and message categories, with critical safety categories typically protected from operator disablement. Other options, such as limiting operation to daytime, coordinating with schedules, or automatic desensitization, are not standard practices.
