Hi - I'm getting ready to install a backup home generator. Anyone have experience with the Kohler 48RCL natural gas powered generator? Any RF hash generated? Thoughts? TIA. -- Donna Hinshaw AG6V ____
Hello Dana I installed a 48RCL with transfer switch 3 years ago. It is totally RFI quiet. That was one of the qualifiers. It has been an awesome machine. 48 KW load tested. 73 Tim K3LR Hi - I'm getti
I have the same generator, but running on LP (no NG around here). No problems whatsoever. -- Jeff WN3A -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/a

I put in a new 22KW LPG fueled Generac for automatic stand by power and it too is clean from well below 1 MHz to above 450MHz. Patrick NJ5G I installed a 48RCL with transfer switch 3 years ag
That is a monster! It is great to hear that they are quiet and you can keep all of your operating positions manned during a power outage. My power blipped off a half dozen times in the RTTY Roundup l
FWIW, we have a small General 14 kW NG air-cooled generator with a manual transfer switch. Its RF quiet at any frequency I can hear, from the BC band through 450 MHz. As an aside, we had trouble star
Hello Kim: Excellent post about soft start on your air conditioners. That is important on generators and also for the AC mains as well. All six (we use two 3 ton units for shack cooling) air conditio

Hi Tim, Im a bit surprised they arent offered as a standard add-on. I was pretty skeptical until I installed them and when I saw the difference they made. I was pretty much blown away! Id never consi
Just learned of something new to me - soft start for air conditioners. As I will be replacing both air handlers and compressors this year and I have a whole house backup NG generator, you have tweake
Interesting post, I never knew that this existed. I have heat pumps so there are compressor motors starting all year long. John KK9A FWIW, we have a small General 14 kW NG air-cooled generator with a
Last year my neighbor bought a new Lennox "Green" A/C. That simply means the fan on the outside unit is variable speed. The local Lennox shop replaced the DC unit with one that was supposed to fix th

Also of interest to folks interested in soft start for heat pumps (or other equipment) are load shed modules that (in my case) allow a third heat pump to start up if the load on the generator is low

Tony, Yes some variable speed motors (vice multi-speed) can cause interference. I lucked out with my new variable speed one HP air handler and don't detect any interference. Likewise with the other
