[dmoes at nexicom.net]

 Have a look at this video  its pretty good from ARRL on small 
inverter generators.   the filter part is the key.

I would not cheep out however   get a cheep generator and it might do 
you for a few years and you end up having to get another one
spend good money on a Honda or Yamaha and you have one for life.

we use an inverter generator for Field Day 4A+Gota and VHF  running 
various rigs and a serious selection of power supplies both linear and 
switching.  including desktops for each station    its either been a 
Honda  2800W inverter or a Yamaha 2400W inverter  both have noise 
filters at the generator and a ground rod at the generator.  so noise 
has not been an issue.
