You nailed the terminology Scott.
I use a Samlex SEC-1250UL converter after the original POS Winnebago
installed let the smoke out. I have never heard noise/birdies on HF from
it when using dipoles or an end-fed wire, typically within 15 to 100 ft.
from the converter.
I took my PL-660 to the RV this afternoon. I could locate noise with it
located within inches of the converter. I chose Samlex due to my
experience with their power supplies which I have used for my ham gear.
The Honda i2000, and far worse, Predator 2000, generate far more noise.
I'm building a choke line filter described in Jim's, K9YC, paper about his
CAQP/7QP experiences. I had planned to test it during FD this year but the
RV will stay home per NM DoH orders.

?Converter? in the RV world is either a 120 VAC to 12 V power supply or a
battery charger. Of course, they can produce the same kind of RFI as an
inverter.
