[Elecraft] DC to DC Converter

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

I use a 2 KW pure sine wave DC to AC inverter in our travel trailer.  
The 60 Hz THD is less than 3% as measured.    I find it works quite 
nice, handles the necessary equipment including the microwave, starts 
the compressor on the 5 cu. ft. refrigerator and best of all, it doesn't 
cause noise on the HF transceiver.   One does have to be mindful of 
power management.  The transceiver does connect direct to the 12V 
battery system.    I've not had any experience with DC to DC converters.
