I'm thankful to Chuck for mentioning the Monster Power inverter that he found so low in RFI noise. My search for a low noise inverter began years ago when I was trying to use a Racal RA6790/GM in a DC-only DXpedition setting. Even with my so-called "medical grade, low RFI" inverter placed inside a metal can 50 feet from the receiver and with RF chokes on I/O leads, there was far too much interference. I gave up trying to find a low noise AC inverter.
My current FDM-S2 is powered by USB, but there are other times on a DXpedition or around the house when a good inverter is handy to have. Anyway, thanks to Chuck's tip I snagged a new, unopened 300 watt Monster Power inverter, model MCPI-300 for my "make an offer" price of $16.00 on Ebay. Evidently someone didn't know the value of what they had, as these were $130 units before they were discontinued. Or, they were just clearing house and didn't care how low a price it might sell for.
