[RFI] Portable Generator Noise

[Bob Turner]

Sounds about right.   I was an early adopter.  Hardly anyone was aware they existed at the time of my purchase.  They only took note of my generator when they walked by it and could not hear it as it was covered up by other generator noise from some distance away.

Honda came out with Inverter Generators in the 1998 to 1999 time frame.

I disagree on that on that.  I’ve been retired about 13 years and had the inverter generator about 10 years prior to that.   If you can find historical data on the EU3000is and when it appeared, I’ll be happy to review it.

20 years ago, they didn't contain "inverters".  All one had to deal with was the spark.
