I have found the Astron Inverters to be quiet and reasonably priced.  K5UHF
told me he had been using them and I trusted Ken and bought a couple:
quiet as a church mouse on 160m through 10 Ghz and I have them all.

This year we are going to do half the Idita-Rover by starting off on the Sky
line drive, VA and driving back up the coast to Northern MA or Southern VT.
I dislike contesting with my laptop due to the need of a power inverter
(noise). Is there anything I can use on my Palm to CQ for HamIM? I use
PocketAprs which might work.  PocketAprs reads my GPS directly through my
Kenwood TH7.  If this is a possibility I would love to experiment this
January. I run my Kenwood into a 50 watt FM amp to a vertical on the roof of
the Red Rover. Suddenly January is looking more interesting.  I could post
my route and attempt to stick to a tight time table which would enable
others to check the effectiveness of their setup.
