Hello Jim,
I don't used Nova for windows, but if what is required is updated Keps in Amsat Format, you can get them in http://amsat.org.ar/sat.htm , just click on the satellite you want keps and click on Keps, you can copy/paste necessary keps.
Other alternative is http://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm , where you have updated keps and predictions in real time for useful amateur satellites.

Thanks all for the reply. I used it several years ago - AO-40 era - and I have been dormant since then. I want to use it now for predictions for the two new FM birds, AO-85 & SO-50. I have version 2.2C which I believe is the latest. I know you can make "extra" sats but I don't appear to be savvy enough to convert the 2-line code to what Nova needs. And then I will want to pull in the latest K-elements as well. Help please!!

I've used it for a number of years and am very happy with it. I do not use
it for controlling the rotor or radio, just for visualizing and predicting
the passes, so can't comment on those features. Currently using it with
Windows 10.

Does anyone use Nova for Windows (by Northern Lights Software Associates)
for satellite tracking?

One foolproof way is to go to http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ftp/keps/current/nasabare.txt and save that file.
Then in NOVA select Kep Elements Disk File Update Manual Update and select that file.
Then use Views Configure current view to select the sats you want to have show up on the screen

Thanks Jim! It works just fine. It compares well with SatPC32.
