[Elecraft] KXPA100 Mobile Operations -- Power Output

[Matt Zilmer]

Actually, they're not special order.  For example, Xantrex can deliver
immiedately.  I use the RS-400 (now numbered XS-400) for mobile AC
power using 12V input, with less than 3% THD.  This one is rated 400W
with surge to 800W (rated, I haven't tested it for surge).
