73. rate is calculated as an average over a large number of received characters Note that once a transmission stops and the transmitter shuts down any error rate that was previously displayed will slowly return back to 0 Evaluating a proposed sensor location A methodical approach when evaluating a proposed sensor site would be to note down the average error rate from each station Then make a change to the proposed sensor location take a new set of error readings and consider your options Ideally you need to receive from at lest one distant station that is 100 miles or more away or you may find it impossible to get any received error count at all As most NAVTEX stations just transmit for a maximum of ten minutes at a time in every four hours you will have to work quickly Alternatively take your time and make a new set of readings after four hours has elapsed Fine tuning the sensor installation If you want to increase the sensitivity of your system and hence the range of reception you can try connecting the screen of the sensor interconnecting cable from the connecting block direct to a good electrical ground This can either be a specially installed ground plate or the keel bolts on a non encapsulated keel Refer to Sensor installation section for full details of recommended grounding arrangements Take careful note of reception error rates on the NAVTEX monitor page both before and after attaching a ground connection
