>Hey Matt;

I tried like model # 00037 from Outback, Chris F. had hand delivered it as 
a demo unit to Dankoff.  We had some probs, and I just thought I'd wait 
till they got the bugs worked out. The SW+ has some good specs: 10,000 watt 
surge, 2,500 watt cont., 8 watt search mode, same old SW pyaramid wave 
form, and the price was way less than the old SW series.
My evaluation now is that:
  A.)search mode doesn't work below 16 watts in New Mexico. (Allan S. can't 
get his to search at 8 watts either)
B.) The high surge is available at the cost of power quality. I think the 
transformer is just too small and too high an impedance to surge to 10,000 
watts (or anything over 2,000 watts) without having a cheap generator like 
blip in power.
C.) The big AC lugs and wiring room are great, and the way it butts right 
up to the side of Outback's PSDC make it the easiest inverter I have ever 
wired.
D.) The manual is actually pretty good, somebody put alot of homework into 
updating it.
E.) Cost is good, I started pushing them instead of the DR series for my 
lower cost systems. (I'm with Frank F. though I still love the old beater 
DR series)

But If the Staber really can't run on the new SW +, I'm in trouble. I'll 
keep looking for other causes for this incompatability and report to the group.
