Hi Ray,


I have nothing but good things to say about Outback.  Not the least is good
customer service which I find Xantrex poorly lacking.

Feel free to contact me off site for more info.

PS The Outback is way quieter than the SW+

watt

can't

> C.) The big AC lugs and wiring room are great, and the way it butts right

> D.) The manual is actually pretty good, somebody put alot of homework into

> E.) Cost is good, I started pushing them instead of the DR series for my
