Hi Loren,
My opinion -- don't try it. Most invertors have a terribly distorted
waveform e.g. square wave with spikes. It'll make the AC-4's xfmr run
terribly hot, and if it works at all the voltages delevered to your rig will
probably not be as expected. It's been done, also happens with the
relatively cheap 1 & 2kw "generators" that are really LV DC alternators
running into an invertor.
I'm sure you'll get other input, hopefully most corroborating.

Subject: [Drakelist] Drake TR-4C portable operation
Lacking the availability of a DC-4 power supply, anyone have any opinions
or experience using a Power Inverter with the AC-4 supply for portable
operations?
