[Elecraft] Military DC Generator

[EricJ]

 Don't know anything about them, but I would want to answer a few questions
first. Can I get parts for it? What kind of power output? How noisey is it?
What kind of fuel consumption? The military isn't all that concerned with
the last two, I would think. I do some work for American Honda and have
looked at their generators. More money, but they are really fine pieces of
gear.

I have been looking at all the options for both home backup power and power
for portable operations like Field Day. I ran across a Military DC MEP-025A
28V Gasoline Powered generator. Its voltage is adjustable from 10 to 32V.
Toronto Surplus is selling these new in the original box for $579. With the
addition of a good inverter this might be a good deal on a high quality
generator. Does anyone know anything about these military DC generators? 

Most likely I will be getting a commercial generator, but this option is
intriguing.
