Hi all, i purchased a 12vdc to 240vac inverter for using my laptop. it's a
300 watt model fromm Jaycar.
I asked the person running the shop if i could run my 100w IC725 from it. NO
WAY was the reply.

I was thinking of running the DSE D-3800 power supply from it when out on
contests and running the laptop and ssb hf rig from it.
I just wanted to know if it was capable of handling that (which i presumed
it would be ) as the lap takes about 60w maybe and the transmitter 100w at
times.

Anyway, if someone can please explain why a 300w inverter won't run 160w of
gear i will be very happy.

Thanks
