I have a 175w unit, which sounded like an equal oppurtunity buzz
saw on any radio near it. Had it not supposed to have been an
inverter it would have made a nice pet, driving all the radios in
the house nuts. But back it went for a replacement, and that one
was just an inverter. Boring, but an inverter.
Moral: test them.
