Great video Stu! I've been a fan of Bestek products in general, I have a few of their travel converters but hadn't thought about the RFI aspect. Crazy how much they put out! The generac being so silent, I wouldn't have guessed it either! I guess their claims of being 40% quieter than the Honda extend to more than just the audible range. Very impressive. Is there a way to test RFI easily on other generators? Maybe with our existing radios? I've done some testing of power lines with a FT60 and a handheld Yagi, but is there good way to use an HT or a FT891 or similar type radio to test RFI on HF bands for my generator and stuff around the house? Would be interesting to see a video comparing various home solar inverters too. I hear most of them put out a lot of RFI, from discussion on one of the local contesting group listservs.
Hi Ryan, The Solar Inverters and Controllers video idea is great. Need to wait till we have a bit more sun out here, but maybe we can run some tests at a micro field day. Stu AG6AG
Great camera work
Yes, Zak did a great job!

Probably the best camera work in this channel's hallowed history. Oh, and...Honda who?
Heh...
