Pure sine wave vs. Modified sine wave Inverter?

[wa8yxm]

My prosine also runs the Microwave ....

I favor true sine becuse I have heard the electronic hash a MSW can make, and I can't hear my Prosine on my most senistive radio.. HOW senistive is it you ask?

Well, about a month ago I hooked this computer up to it and chatted with a fellow ham operator in Hungry.. Ok, so we must have been pushing some srious power for a chat that far away right... yup, about 30 watts.. Both ends.

Only time it has been larger is when my wife forgot to turn off the electric heater when we unhooked from shore power. I kinda freaked when I saw the display show almost 900 watts.

Did you do the installation yourself? I installed a ProWatt SW 2k in my Thor ACE but I just ran the 120v output to a power strip for my computer equipment so it can be used on the road, and also to act as a UPS in case I lose shore power. I'd be interested in finding out how I could incorporate the Inverter into the coach power system.
