New Firmware
The reception of NAVTEX messages and other messages in (SITOR-B code), for example from Greece and Turkey, was improved. For example: safe identification and storing a message, and selection of “the best of three frequencies" as by telex reception (text messages from the German Weather Service, DWD). The “automatic reception procedure” (timer) was revised. An interesting novelty of DWD are the text message "Medium range weather report eastern Atlantic, time series forecast for 5 days". This message include all Waters of Ireland up to and including the Canary Islands. You will find an example HERE.You will find the new version firmware HERE to download to your Computer.

Follow-up model of the WE-FAX501
Several highly integrated components of the WE-FAX501 are discontinued by the manufacturer. This means a redesign is needed. The WE-FAX501 has been eight years on the market - a long time for modern electronics. So a new development has been decided, but by another Project delayed. The WE-FAX501 is partly a »Software Defined Radio« (SDR). The new development will be an all over SDR - possibly with several receivers in one unit.More detailed specifications will be published later.
