I've rad Niton is now broadcasting with an identity of E and if you've got a filter on , then include this one.

S remains. K has become E. And as to no one telling you anything - Navtex was broadcasting the change on K transmissions for some time.
I changed my set-up to include E, but forgot to delete K, so for a while was getting info from somewhere in Greece (I think).

Its funny, this. I haven't been getting anything on S for some time. CROSS Corsen and Oostend are no problem. Niton on S - zilch.
Am going to call Falmouth Coastguard today to see what the score is.

Have now spoken with Falmouth Coastguard who are respnsible for NAXTEXT.
Niton has been removed from code S and is now broadcst as E.
Apparently the change was from the 17th of September.

....and I was about to chuck my Navtex overboard ( I mean dispose of it environmentally correctly) all I have to do is programme in just E and delete the now dumb S to receive Solent/Wight weather?
Was it published/broadcast?

A. THE TRANSMISSION IDENTIFICATION CHARACTER (B1) WILL CHANGE TO 'E'.</font color=red>
