[Collins] Power Inverter Question

[Danny Lunstrum]

Good Afternoon Group,

US Cellular is planning on installing a cellphone site approximately 1300' from my amateur radio/short wave listening station and I am very concerned about possible interference.

In visiting with Mike Gruber at ARRL, he suggested that I take a portable communications receiver and monitor the amateur and short-wave bands with the rig around     1300' from a cellphone site and see what kind of interference I can pick up.

My question concerns using a 51S-1 receiver and powering it from a power inverter with a 12v input.

The two that I looked at stated that the output was a "modified sine wave output."

Would it possible to damage the power supply section of the 51S-1 if I used a 12 VDC to 115 VAC power inverter to power it?

Thank-you for your thoughts,


Dan Lunstrum
