Hello Nick, 

	with  program version 12.8b or the test version 12.8c run the tool
DataBackup (located in the SatPC32 program folder) to restore your
data and get the program running again. Then update your Keps files,
best  with the "Update  Keps" feature in menu "Satellites". Download
"nasa.all" and/or the Celestrak files you want to use with the
different satellite groups (menu Satellites). Also check the option
"Use Amsat names if available" in menu Satellites > Sat Names (default
setting).   The program will run with these Celestrak files and
display the Amsat satellite names of most of the satellites. 

	The Celestrak files are updated every day (as far as I know). So, the
"Update Keps" function is a  comfortable way to get fresh Keps, I
think. 

	If you want to use Space Track files directly download them with the
TLE Retriever 3 and convert them to Celestrak files that can be used
by SatPC32. The TLE Retriever will store the generated Celetrak files
in a data folder "My TLEs". To use the files navigate to that folder
(SatPC32 menu File > Open) and select a file. 

	When you have configured the program for your equipment you should
save the settings with DataBackup. 

	We are on vacation until Aug. 24. 

	73,s, Erich, DK1TB

 Nick,

 Space Track has a new format, but my SatPC32 downloads from
CelesTrak, which
 uses the same file format as always.  I just updated all the files,
and
 there were no problems.  You could try the NASA.ALL file, which has
been
 unchanged for years.

 If you could give a list of the error messages, it would help.

 73s,

 Alan

 I believe Space Track has a new format on the data . When I load the
new
 data into satpc 32 it throws errors and the only to shut satpc 32
down is
 via a 3 finger solute. Does anyone on the list have a resolution.

 Thanks
