I'm not familiar with the 2200i, but our CQP and 7QP county expedition
groups have used the 2000i for years to run a K3/P3/KPA500/KAT500
station on both CW and SSB. At times we have been able to run in ECO
mode without issues, while at other times we've had issues voltage
regulation with the KPA500. Short, beefy copper between the KPA500 and
the generator helps. We mostly work CW, but also do SSB.

The Honda EU2200i will handle the KPA500 quite well and provide power
for other items. You should run the generator in the ECO throttle
in the OFF position as CW and SSB will have it trying to keep up with
load changes. And the new ones are rated at 2200 watts max, 1800
watts rated where as the older one was 2000 watts max. With the
EU2200i you should not need a UPS.

Does anyone have any experience using their KPA-500 with a small,
portable generator? I was thinking about using a generator and an
UPS, but I am finding that my small UPS does not like generator power.
I am guessing some of you may have tried this at Field Day. What
did you find?
