    << display amp draw (apparently because the modified sine wave
     was too square) - Trace is apparently known to have a better sine wave.
     NOTE: I have been told this is one of the improvements in the new Heart
     models - but can't say from experience yet.

    Sandra,

    I have a Trace SW2512 (sine wave, 2.5 KW, 12 VDC, $2000) and it has worked
    well for me. The only two problems are a two relay rather than three relay
    auto generator start (which I don't use anyway) and no battery back-up for
    microprocessor settings if you should loose your 12VDC input (pop the input
    breaker). The output is not exactly a sine wave, it looks like a Myan
    temple. They say pure sine wave is not very efficeint.
