[Boatanchors] 12 vdc to 110 vac converter question: Rolling boatanchors away!

[Jim Hill]

Some of you seem to have avoided inverter noise.  Any suggestions of 
specific manufacturers?  I'd really like something where I could listen to 
80 or 160 meter AM with little or no noise - but maybe I'm asking for the 
impossible.  Maybe lead dress and/or bonding to the car frame is a help - 
suggestions there?   I have heard that Excel sine wave inverters are among 
the best, but they are expensive, so don't want to take the leap without 
some advice.
Thanks, Jim w6ivw
