I use a 2 KW pure sine wave DC to AC inverter in our travel trailer.
The 60 Hz THD is less than 3% as measured. I find it works quite
nice, handles the necessary equipment including the microwave, starts
the compressor on the 5 cu. ft. refrigerator and best of all, it doesn't
cause noise on the HF transceiver. One does have to be mindful of
power management. The transceiver does connect direct to the 12V
battery system. I've not had any experience with DC to DC converters.

As I run my K3 from batteries at home, and am about to run in from
batteries in Sierra county for the California QSO party -- no
generators permitted where we are. I need battery power for my normal
operations. If higher voltages are needed to clean up the amp, how
about a DC to DC converter.
