[MRCG] 800Hz AC Power for Navy Radios

I've ordered a 24VDC input, 120VAC 60 Hz output inverter from Amazon. I will see if I can reverse-engineer it and modify it to make 800 Hz power for my new GP-7 transmitter. I chose 24V input over a cheaper 12V input unit because the GP-7 power draw would exceed my 12V supply's capacity. It should run OK from my PP-4763A supply, though.

Assuming I succeed in making it work, I plan to change out the AC power output connectors on the inverter. I don't want an ordinary line cord hanging off my GP-7, since plugging it into an ordinary wall outlet would probably burn it up.

Before I re-invent the wheel, do any of y'all already have a preferred connector for 120VAC 800Hz power sources?
