I currently use a Yamaha EF2800i inverter generator with an IC-7300 and Elecraft KPA500. The Yamaha generator is both heavy and an awkward shape for one person to carry far. It is noisier than I would like, but not excessively so. It has been 100% reliable over many years use.
The Yamaha will run all day on a tank of fuel and easily powers the KPA500 to our 400W legal limit.
I would like to sell the generator and use a suitcase one. A Honda EU2200 looks like one of the better options, although without modification the running time looks to be a little short. I have seen the replacement fuel tank cap mod for the Honda units, are these viable to extend the running time, and is the EU2200 capable of running a 400W o/p amp without coughing too much on CW?
