I too have the Predator. Best generator for the money. Big enough to run the ACs and all the radio gear in my RV.

I have the HF Predator 2000 and like it. It's quiet, seems well made, and runs a long time on a gallon of fuel. Easy to carry and store.

Does any one have an opinion on the Harbor Freight knock off of the Honda inverter?  I have one, I found it woudn't run the ac in my trailer so it has been on the back shelf.  Come to think about it, I was in Harbor Freight a few days ago and didn't see anything but five or six kw units.  
By the way anything with wheels isn't portable.  Reminds  me of any TV with handles was portable no mater how heavy.

 Mark, Honda and Yamaha are true benchmarks. I have a Yamaha Y series 2800 and it has powered two refrigerators, a television, a fan and LED lights during many times of power loss.  I use it for DJ work as it is inverter technology.  If you’d like more info call me at 832-473-4002.  Lee Usry - K5BLU.

 Given the tax free weekend, what portable generator would you recommend - sized for field day usage. 73MarkK5MGJ ----- Forwarded Message -----From: ARRL Members Only Web site <memberlist at arrl.org>To: "k5mgj at yahoo.com" <k5mgj at yahoo.com>Sent: Friday, April 22, 2022, 09:50:02 AM CDTSubject: Emergency Preparation Supplies Sales Tax Holiday The Texas Emergency Preparation Supplies Sales Tax Holiday will occurfrom Saturday, April 23, 2022 at 12:01 am, CDT, to midnight, Monday,April 25, 2022.     The list of supplies and items that qualify appear on the TexasComptroller's website at: https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/publications/98-1017.php     Unfortunately, the tax holiday does not provide exemption fromsales tax on the purchase of radios in excess of $75 in value. Perhapswe can persuade a Texas legislator to sponsor an amendment to the lawthat would extend the tax exemption to permit the exclusion of sales taxon a broader class of amateur radios and related equipment.     If you have been planning to purchase a small generator, note thesales tax exclusion does apply to portable generators that cost lessthan $3,000.00, permitting — depending on brand and where purchased— the acquisition of generators up to 15,000 watts.     Be safe.  John Robert Stratton  N5AUS    DirectorLee H.
