I heard recently that you want to get a generator with an inverter in it. The last 3 or 4 years the generators with inverters have become available and are as clean as power from the power company. I heard that on a Ham Emergency Net Meeting. Don't know any more than that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck Hards" <chuckhards@yahoo.com> To: "Utah Astronomy" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2003 1:29 PM Subject: RE: [Utah-astronomy] amateur astronomy, zen, & power outages
Don, Gary, anyone with practical generator experience; is interference a problem these days, or are most modern generators in the 5kw-10kw class pretty clean? Any after-market RFI filtration needed? Don, sounds like you run your computer just fine on the generator?
Thanks
C.

I have a 8000 watt natural gas backup generator with a transfer switch so it comes on automatically 30 seconds after the power goes off. It is also relatively quiet, 70 decibels. It has come in handy many times but I only needed it for a few hours during the current power problems.
