After testing the radio on clean city power I can report the inverter power I was previously using was my final problem after recapping. The radio sounds great now with good reception. Now I will put my newly acquired signal generator to use and get a better under standing of how it works while checking the alignment. The only other question I would throw out is if there is any way to eliminate the interference from the inverter and the CFL lighting. Some sites recommend twisting wires and adding ferrite filters. Except for the solar panels you wouldn'd know this house was any different than a city house with all normal 120VAC code wiring off of a distribution panel. I wonder if this a problem for the new homes with grid-tie inverter systems.
