[Elecraft] Mobile from 117 VAC

[Dave Fugleberg]

If your intent is to operate portable (buddipole in a parking lot) as
opposed to mobile, then none of the issues you described about bonding,
ferrites, vehicle electrical systems, etc come into play anyhow. Just use
the 12v from the vehicle battery (fused of course).
You can operate quite awhile that way even with the vehicle turned off to
eliminate electrical noise from the vehicle.
All built in inverters that I've seen in vehicles require the vehicle to be
running. Most are relatively limited in power handling as well. If you do
decide to plug a power supply into that vehicle inverter, make sure the
inverter can handle the load. I don't see that it makes much sense to go
that route, though.
