[Elecraft] KPA-500 with Portable Generator

[Edward R Cole]

I bought the 2200i twins for running >4000w for my RV last spring, so 
less than a year old.  Ended up not running them so only test-run by 
the selling dealer before I took delivery.  Guess I will check the 
SN's to see if they are on the recall.  Presently stored in the RV 
which is surrounded by waist-high snow so that will have wait a few 
more months.  I might check with the dealer in meantime as he 
probably recorded the SN in the sale.

If my generators were part of the recall, glad I did not fuel or run 
them.  We logged 11K miles last summer with them in the storage area.

I have several Honda power tools which I really like the 
quality.  Always start easy and run well.  House has the EU6500i for 
standby power.  Runs everything in the house including the well and 
the ham shack.  Bands are amazingly quiet when the neighborhood is 
without commercial power.

Thanks for the heads-up on the recall.

Correct.? I was just speaking with the Sales person at Hondashop.com.?
The units are on a recall / hold.? They have quite a back order list.?
Their price is $899.00 delivered in USA.? CA residents pay 7.375 tax.?
They do not have the EU2000i as it is discontinued.
