NASA Easy Navtex: is this a good reception graphic? Can't receive anything!

[psousa]

Hi guys!

1st time dealing with this equipment. Is this a good reception graph? I receive nothing. 1 day (at harbor) connected and got no messages. All kind of messages and all stations are on.
Any ideas?

I receive nothing. 1 day (at harbor) connected and got no messages.

Being at harbour is usually the problem. Are there many hills or lots of masts in the locality? That usually confuses things and there is too much noise for the signal to be read.

Have you tried re-booting it?

I found that being in a harbour or marina can mess up reception. On my travels from Holyhead to the Algarve I found that as soon as I got on to the open sea it started working

Yes, rebooted and reset.

Just to update: this is the active signal reception graphic pattern. This doesn't mean that you gonna receive any readable message. Could be interference signals (which is most likely when you're inside a marina and have a Series-2 aerial). When it's not receiving anything, the graphic pattern is like this: |_______| (flat on the middle, one bar each side)

Cheers!
