Shortly after I purchased my EX-1000, Honda discontinued manufacturing this unit and replaced it with a "Cheaper" (made) generator of the "Inverter Technology" design. The EX-1000 is not only mechancally quiet, it is also electrically quiet. Not So with the New Honda portables. They produce so much noise that working DX is almost impossible when using them for AC power. They are simply "No Good" for amateur radio. Having worked with many Generators over the years, the EX-Series of portables were (In my opinion) the very best ever made. The EX-1000 will run almost six hours under load with only 3/4 of a gallon of gas. While the Newer Inverter Generators will run a little longer, they are simply not the quality of the Pre-Inverter line. If you can find one, grab it.
