New Inverter for Free

Hey Luke -

Bummer on the relay-problem. They seem common enough here that it might be an idea for us to have a spare around.

My thoughts exactly on the sine vs square wave with my clocks, but can't figure out why they don't always do it when I'm running on inverter. Oh well, too bad that isn't the only thing I have to wonder about.

This goes beyond my comprehension, but I read somewhere that the output characteristics of inverters (especially modified square wave inverters, with their various harmonics, etc.) can vary with changes in both the load they are servicing and also variences in input current, which both change over time.

Someone once compared inverters to camels... They will carry a very large load a short distance, a medium load a longer distance, and a small load all day long. And sometimes, seemingly without reason, they will bite you or kick you.

Fortunately, Robin, my inverter doesn't smell as bad as a camel (yet!)
