What methods did you use to test for the generator interference? Can you give any specs on the generator such as a trailer-ed unit. When was last maintenance done to the generator, and what? I suspect that you have a faulty plug or a bad shield somewhere in the unit. I would also suspect that when the D-Rat is connected to battery or other stable power source there is no known problems.
I am curious though to hear more on this as we have been discussing a D-STAR/RAT, but have wondered about the pitfalls and the ability to fix them in the field much like legacy systems!
