[Elecraft] OT: Grease your DELETE Key

[Wayne Moore K7EX]

When I installed the solar package in my RV I used a Morningstar 
Sure-Sine 300. It was recommended as an RF quiet inverter, and,
although I don't do a lot with my KX3 when I'm out camping, I
do some and it seems pretty quiet. It's only 300W, not 500, so
maybe it won't meet your needs but I'm happy with it.

You might contact IOTA Engineering. They don't seem to make exactly what you

want but they do make emergency lighting inverters packaged with batteries.?

Perhaps they can sell you the guts of one of these.? I know them for their 
battery chargers, which are first rate and electrically quiet.

Disclaimer:? I moonlighted for the founders of this company at another small

start-up about 50 years ago.? It is a local Tucson company but I have zero 
association with them now.
