[Elecraft] Elecraft PA via Generator Power?

I asked the same question on eHam yesterday.

Currently I have a Yamaha EF2800i (lightweight “frame” inverter generator,
29Kg dry), it will power a transceiver and a KPA500 easily, although if
using CW at 400W o/p it runs smoother if economy mode is turned off. It is
fine on eco mode with SSB.

The generator dates from 2006 and has been flawless, however, I fancy a
lighter and quieter unit. The 2KVA suitcase types look good, but appear to
only have enough fuel for around 4 hours, the EF2800i runs well over 8
hours without a refill.

Maybe I should visit a gym and strengthen my back!
