One of the first tests I did after the dual-fuel conversion of my Honda gen
was with the KPA-500. Worked flawlessly, and I highly recommend the
conversion. It only takes minutes:

Yes, BUT For the 2KW Honda, how long do you want it to run???
SEE "long Run Kits"

You can also find the parts to make the kit and modify a "cheap"
I have the big Yamaha inverter generator, an EF6300i. it makes fantastic
electricity and runs any electronic devices with no problems. I do turn
off economy mode if I am only running radio gear. The inverters are much
better than open frame 3600 rpm " box store" units. They have a much
better
I asked the same question on eHam yesterday.
Currently I have a Yamaha EF2800i (lightweight “frame” inverter generator,
29Kg dry), it will power a transceiver and a KPA500 easily, although if
using CW at 400W o/p it runs smoother if economy mode is turned off. It is
fine on eco mode with SSB.
Thanks for sharing!! I have been thinking about adding that to my 2000i.

Was that the Hutch Mountain conversion Jim?
Yes. And Glen said they were great to deal with, including answering
questions. Thanks for prodding my aging memory cells.

We've done that a LOT (at least 6 years) with two KPA500s on Honday
2000i generators for CQP and 7QP
Anybody know, or have experience using an Elecraft PA (a 500 watt in my
case) with a generator supplying AC power (a Honda 2 KW in my case)? I’ve
not done it yet. Wanted to check to see if anyone else has prior experience
before I end up blowing the final, or some such. The Honda flavor I have
