[1000mp] Using FT-1000MP MK5 with Inverter

[Jeffrey Steinberg]

I don't have a Field version, just the FT-1000 MP MK5.
 
I would like to use this radio off DC power for emergency operations
and I don't have a 32V source.  I do have a car battery.
 
I was thinking, can I use a DC to AC inverter so that I can plug the AC
cord of the FP-29 into it?  Its strange, but that would give me:
 
CAR Battery--->Inverter to AC--->FP-29----DC--->FT-1000MP MK5.
 
The question is:  How many watt inverter do I need and does it need
to be a true sine wave inverter? The manual makes no comments
about the watts the radio draws on AC.
 
I have e-mailed this question to Yaesu tech support in the U.S. about
two
months ago and have not heard anything back.
 
Has anyone on this list done this?
 
TIA.
