Hi Doug, it is a Kipor 3000thi, nice small package only 65 lbs very quite and will run my AC even at 6000' but sense it is a Inverter type generator I does put out some rf noise. I only here the RFI when ever a cord it plugged into it and the longer the cord the more noise. It bought a bunch of capacitors rated for 1.4K AC and will be winding some coils to make a brute force filter, and hope that will take care of the noise. If I get my antenna far enough away from the Gen it is usable but I want to get it as quite as possible, not every camping spot is large enough for that. It is a work in progress.
