Nova-TD-500 (84xxx) problems (was Re: dib0700 diversity support)

Please can someone help...

I have been trying to get my nova-td-500 to work, but no matter what I
try I get a substandard signal, with lots of errors.

This is about the same as described elsewhere on this list.

I tried this code (posted by Patrick Boettcher below), hoping it may be
a little better but, so far, it has not improved things at all.

I have even replaced the antenna on my roof, in the hope of getting a
better signal, but I still get errors.

I have tried the top, the bottom and both antenna connectors, but it
does not seem to make much difference.

Is there anything else I could try?  I really want a working system
again. (I replaced an old buggy card with this one, not knowing it would
be such a problem)
