Not all sinewave inverters cause the AM wipeout by a long stretch, but those Morningstar 300W jobs are one of the worst. I refuse to sell them. Bob-O KG6MM On Jun 27, 2010, at 6:58 PM, Glenn Burt wrote:
I just saw this firsthand this week - I was out camping and had a Morningstar SureSine 300W inverter inverter setup on the camper to charge a few things, and as Field day was approaching, setup my HF ham radio (running off the same deep cycle battery), adjacent to the inverter. My antenna was up in the trees ~ 40 ft directly above & fed by ladder line (G5RV for those who know). I turned on the inverter & bam, wiped out my radio reception.... So I adjusted my operating time to be opposite the times we needed to run the inverter... -Glenn KA2DTH _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Options & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
