 Hi Chuck,
 
 George K5KG was kind enough to point out your e-mail to me.
 I had good luck... and quiet opperations...with a TRIPP-LITE 500 watt  
Power Inverter.
 George tried their ~100 watt unit, which prover to be not suitable
 for powering HF radio equipment.
 The model I own/use is the PV500 by Tripp-Lite.
 They do not sell direct.
 The distributor I purchased the unit from was: Newark InOne.
 phone 773 907-5740   or 1-800-4-NEWARK    Email rockside at newark.com
 They are located nr Chichago, I believe, but ship from several
 locations.  [cud not find web page tonite]
 Cost was $98.54  shipping was 28.77 (FedEx overnite the Thursday
 before the FQP).  Don't wait until the last minute like I did,  hi. 
 The unit has 3  120v (standard 3 prong with ground) outlets and will
 handle 800w  peak and is rated  for 500 watts.
 It was quiet and is ruggedly built.

 I was a very happy mobileer last FQP.   
 I used the unit to power only my laptop.  
 Next year I plan to run both the OMNI6+ and the computer off the PV500 
 in the hope of avoiding the 'raspy' cw note I sent last year with the  
direct feed of the rig from my RV batterys as  the voltage went low.
 
 Hope this helps some.
