Ramon,

While it should do the job for producing AC for your power supply, I 
wonder about the "Inverter" part of it.  That tells me that the native 
generator produces DC and is then run through an inverter to give AC output.
Some inverters do produce RF noise, so I would want to try it out first 
to see just how much RF Hash it produces on the ham bands of interest.

Does anybody out there has had any experience with it while using it to power a radio? Comments appreciated.
