I paid $1600, for a small commercial grade Honda, that uses what they call a cycloconverter. It isn't an inverter, but it is an electronic control, that eliminates the alternator completely. It utilizes the flywheel to generate. I bought it, because I had a huge Generac, that had more failures...

I have a similar unit as my main unit. It is an AllPower 7HP chonda, 3300W rated on gasoline (I run on NG) It runs my house, but had a struggle last week when I lit up an 8000 BTU AC unit. I need to look into that some more, but it may have just been a fuel/air mixture issue. I have a much...

I stopped using petrol/gasoline generators after Sandy. LED lighting, TV's ets sure do reduce the loads. I run natural gas only to the standby generator. I have modified them in various ways from gasoline to NG.

How many field days, have I participated in, before there were inverters and pure sine wave gensets? Hmm....a lot. We didn't have stuff blowing up all over the place and we didn't care if it did!

Radioddity QT-60 Pro or QT-80. QT-60 Pro is 10/11/12, QT-80 is 10/11/12/15m. These are new radios that will blow your mind by comparison to the radios of yesteryear. There are several threads on here that pertain to these models.

The preamp in the handbook, uses a 2N5179, I was close.

I'll need to dig out an old handbook.

It isn't $240.

I don't know, might not be true for the discount code, I see it on their flash sale but not anniversary. I guess you can email them and see what they say. Too much fine print as usual.

It does qualify for trade in discount of $30 if you purchased an HF radio from their website.

Radioddity has a 30 day price protection guarantee. I just saw this when I went to their site.

I see that now, new arrivals don't qualify. I did check the code with QT-60 Pro and it does work. $208 plus sales tax.

Do you know if that is the device that was used in an HF preamp circuit, from a 70's or 80's ARRL handbook? I think it was, but not sure.

I'm not surprised. Robin stuff is competing directly with Honda. It is right up there in the top tier in quality.

This is crazy cheap...ridiculous for what you get.

I think that would make it $208 for QT-60 Pro damn....that's a steal!

I believe I have the same unit as you do. I was unable to locate the correct manual either. Someone has it out there, hopefully they see this.

I may have one of those. The one I have is a Chonda, its a big engine for the generator size, but that's okay. I doubt it is a 25% THD gen head more likely 5% or better. The Champion's are 5%, so who's standard is Firman talking about? I looked into the Firman's, when Costco started carrying...

Should be fine.

Yes, to all of that. I was surprised that Firman would sell something that poor, but they do. I would not but one myself.
