[Swan] Help Swan 270B w/ 14A inverter

[G. Yager]

                I have a Model 14A inverter on my 270B, and it seems to work
well from a cold start.  Running from a deep cycle battery it will power the
xcvr to about 60 watts output.

After running for about 20 minutes it seems to get quite warm.  Also, what I
thought was powerline noise seems to have something to do with the inverter
getting warm.  As this inverter is pretty old, would the capacitor likely
need to be replaced, or is what I'm seeing because I'm not running from a
13.8 Volt automotive system?

 

Thank You,
