I run an Acom 1000 portable from a Yamaha EF2800i generator. The generator does cough a little on CW but the voltage remains steady. Given the high value of the radio and amplifier I would not skimp on a generator. The output of the generator on an oscilloscope is cleaner than the mains supply. I am sure a generator of this type would be ideal for the KPA500.
73 Dave, G4AON ------------------------ However, small generators I have seen do not produce mains-quality sinewave output: it's more triangular and I just want to know if Elecraft are happy with their kit running on this sort of supply which is also varying in voltage and frequency. I can think of several mechanisms to stress a psu.
