Thanks everyone for the feedback!

All seems now to be working again properly.

I removed the existing Novakeps.dat file and repaired the software from the 
setup.exe programme. I then modified the internet keps update to only look 
at the ftp://www.amsat.org/amsat/keps/current/nasabare.txt file. This is a 
much smaller file than I had originally!

So far so good - after 24 hours operation the antennas are rotating properly 
still

Hi All,

I have been a NOVA user for many years but I know find that, when it is set
up to drive the rotator to track FUNcube-1, at start up I get a Nova message
box that says “ List index out of bounds (0) " - this comes up immediately,
before the prog starts to update the keps, and the rotator operation is very
unreliable.

I am using W10 machine and a  LVB tracker box with its built in USB
converter.

Any suggestions about a cure would be much appreciated...

thanks
