- Frequency range from 80 kHz to 25 MHz (100 Hz steps) with 376 preprogrammed and 230 user programmable channels
- Clear view, dimmable display with frequency information, 
- Optional with internal Navtex-receiver: Navtex-messages are printed regulary. SAR messages are priority messages, the weather chart will be interrupted by then
- Automatic frequency selection with channel search

The print will be done in four grey levels on a high contrast, 8" thermal paper (216 mm x 20 m). The advantage of this reliable and tested system is that there is no trouble with coaldust.

Here you can find the up-to-date Fax  transmittting list  from the "Deutschen Wetterdienst "
The FAX-207 can be preprogrammed automatically, so you don`t have to adjust it by hand. It automatically selects the frequency with the best reception.

Additionally, with the FAX-207 you don`t have to adjust crystals to get optimum results.

You have the possibility to built in a Navtex-module, which is as intelligent as the Fax-system.

More and more Navtex-stations are built around the world- they inform automatically about up-to-date weather news and warnings in certain areas. this is one of the features of the FAX-207 : as soon as a SAR Navtex-warning is transmitted, the FAX-207 interruptes the printing of a weather chart and recordes the more important Navtex- message.Normal Navtex information will be printed after the reception of the world map.
