Heh! I was actually proposing the idea of an EU2000 or another quiet generator before next year's outing. Our current model is plenty loud and we've used batteries the past couple of years to preserve the peace in the park we operate FD from. Just how quiet is it? This year we did run the batteries down to where my K3 powered off and a third battery had to be pressed into service. Perhaps an LED lamp as an indicator that draws little current would provide an alert to the generator shutting down? 73, de Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
