Hi Greg,
You should give GO-32 a try. It has much stronger digital signal than
AO-51 and I have found it much easier to work. Since operation is
identical to AO-51 except for frequencies and callsigns, can use GO-32
to make sure all of your gear is working properly then give AO-51
another shot. If I remember correctly, AO-51's digital transmitter is
only running at 1/4 watt or something around that. You will need a
pre-amp to get a good lock on the signal, even with your Quagi.
Have fun!
