The issue is not compatibility with the radio. Electronic devices, 
especially those handling power, produce RF noise that is radiated both 
by internal wiring and by external wiring (like the power cable that we 
plug into them). That RF trash is picked up by our antennas, just like 
any other RF energy. Even the very good Honda EU200oi generator produces 
moderately strong RF noise, and requires a good common mode choke on the 
power cable that plugs into it. These issues are addressed in the link 
below, which is the slides for a talk I gave on noise in portable setups 
to the Northern California Contest Club several years ago.
