[Elecraft] K3: KPA500 on a generator?

Here's something perhaps you 'KPA500 beta testers' could try:

During my summertime 6m grid-hopping activities, it would be nice to power
a portable station (K3 and KPA500) from my Honda 2000i generator. (AC power
is seldom available on a mountaintop.)

My older 'non-i' generator could not even stand the varying load of CW or
SSB at 100 watts, so I hung a battery across the generator 12v output, and
ran the station off the battery. Worked fine, but now I want more power!
