Two comments:
1. Our local ham club which consists of mainly HF CW guys, got two
of the 2000i Honda units along with the slave kit to use when more
than one would suffice. The club equipped a 28 foot trailer as a
mobile response communications unit with up to four operating
positions and it is used with two yagis during FD. One is 4-element
20m mounted on a folding tower installed on a flat-bed trailer. They
can set up and be running in 30-minutes. The Honda's do not seem to
cause any electrical hash and usually set about 50 feet+ from the
comms trailer.
2. At home I run a 6500w Honda inverter which will run my whole
household including my 8877 kilowatt HVPS or kilowatt 6m sspa. It is
permanently installed in a doghouse about twelve feet from the mains
meter using a transfer switch. I've noted no noise issues (RFI or
audible). Its super-quiet in slow-run mode and handles loads in the
house including the well pump, furnace, and kitchen appliances. It
was not cheap, but we are often the only one with lights around the
lake when the power goes off (which is frequent enough here in AK).
