Dave,I tried feeding a GTFX2524 with a Honda 2000i and found that it would  
not connect.  It sees the AC in to the inverter but would not lock  on.  I was 
hoping that the very good stable  sine wave and voltage  would allow it to 
connect.  Our only solution so far for generator backup  is a dual inverter 
system with one grid tie and one off grid sharing the same  battery. Kind of an 
expensive battery charger but it does provide a backup  inverter in case one 
failed. I am planning to do a PS2 board with a GVFX3524 for  net metering our shop 
and add a FX2524T for the option of taking our shop off  grid if we desire, 
keeping the batteries up when needed from the 2000i.  I  like the best of both 
worlds!
