[VHFcontesting] Inverter Advice

[Robert McGwier]

I have purchased two DC-> 117V Astron inverters upon
receiving advice for K5UHF.  He told me they were quiet
and got the job done.

He was absolutely right.  I have listened, with computer
from 160 meters through 70 cm with laptops connected and
inverters hooked to car battery, gel cell, and deep discharge.
I have discarded all prior attempts.  This is stone quiet
in my set up.  I have paid particularly careful atttention
in my Chrysler minivan, to take advantage of the fine body
construction and have carefully grounded all things to
body and frame.  I do not have alternator or ignition
noise and the inverter is very quiet indeed.

I have 2 PI250's

(See you in two weeks, AB2KT and I will be roving at a low
intensity pace on 2->2304 in the northeast).

I hope your experiences are the same.

I'm planning to do some rover operations and need a power inverter to run
my laptop.  I could use advice on selecting a power inverter that won't
generate large amounts of RFI.  Any advice?
