my american express card doubles manufacturer's warranties up to one
year. therefore, if i buy something with a 2-year warranty, amex makes
it 3. you can't beat that on a generator. might want to check your
credit card company and see what they offer for their programs. amex
will also replace it if it breaks in the first 90 days and allow me to
return it in 30 days even if the vendor says they will not take it back.

Thanks to all that replied to my question. I’m sort of leaning toward
a Honda as a house generator, although if I can get either LP or
Propane or some kind of gas tank at my new QTH, I’ll probably go with
a Generac whole house setup like my dad has.
As for the smaller, portable ones, that I would use on something like
Field Day or when camping, I’m going to look at all of the
suggestions. What would win out over Honda in this case is a longer
warranty.
I do agree with what one of you said about the Hondas, they should
have some resale value if I ever did want to sell, and I think they’ve
been in the small inverter business longer than anyone I can think of
and have a pretty darn good product.
Again, thanks to everyone that commented. I’ll be posting more SAQ’s
(Silly @ssed Questions) shortly. Gotta get this new ham shack at the
new QTH sorted out.

*Subject:* [BVARC] Best buys in portable generators?
Hello all,
Closed on my ham friendly QTH in Woodville TX and starting on Oct.
24^th will start stringing some nice wire antennas until I can get a
tower up.
I would like to back everything up with a portable generator which
would also be nice to have for roving, and park work.
Opinions: who has the best buys in portable generators? Yamaha prices
are right up with Honda now, but now I see Generac, Ryobi and Hyundai
all making less expensive but comparable output generators.
Thanks in advance for your input.
73, Rob, KC5RET
