MG's idea

https://github.com/astuder/dAISy/issues/11 based on success of dAISy AIS might be you could make a small NavTex receiver connectable via USB. And outside antenna. There is one NASA Marine PC NavTex USB which is way too expensive.

There is software too to display messages https://github.com/juerec/pc-navtex The program PC NAVTEX works together with the NAVTEX receiver "PC NAVTEX USB" from NASA. You can download, read and store messages received by this device. PC NAVTEX ist tested under Linux systems, on PC and on Raspberry Pi 3B+. Other platforms possible too. The program is written using the Qt framework. There no platform specific features used. So, a port to Windows should be able without any changes.

I think this would probably best be a separate plugin. Closing
