    Just putting that out there, the system I built for my cargo trailer with a name brand charge controller turns out to have so much RF, I have to disconnect the thing to use battery power with my radio gear. Inverters can be noisy too, I have found the Samlex brand to be very quite, but haven't solved my charge controller noise yet. Carry on...
    Very interesting find, I too have noticed various brand inverters are noisy.  I found a pretty clean and quite 600W/1200W surge pure sine wave inverter made by Power TechON.  I used my Rigol scope to check how pure the sine wave was and also checked it using the FFT function to check for RF interference and it was very clean.  I have heard similar success with the Samlex brand as you mentioned.  What kind of solar controller are you currently using?

    @dhauf, I have a Morningstar brand with two 80w panels. Definitely can't use any HF radio gear around it.
