Larry:

By true generator support, I do not mean generator start functions.  I mean 
the ability of the inverter to sense when the attached generator is being 
asked to provide beyond rated amperage and syncing with the generator and 
assisting in powering loads.  Does the Magnum do this?  I read the manual 
and did not see this function.

PS:  Xantrex SW, Xantrex XW, Outback Radian and Sunny Island all do 
this.  I don't think any of them provide neutral switching.
