What happens when you put a 3,000W pure sine wave inverter to the ultimate amateur radio test? I put the Junbpaw LGE-3080Ti inverter through real-world power testing, running loads up to 1,000 watts before investigating RF interference and its effects on my Icom IC-705 HF/VHF/UHF transceiver. Things took an unexpected turn when my IC-705 developed bizarre touchscreen problems, including unresponsive controls and phantom touches. Was it electromagnetic interference (EMI), conducted RF noise, a problem with the radio itself, or something else entirely? In this video, we examine the evidence, investigate the symptoms, and explore what happens when off-grid power equipment meets sensitive ham radio electronics.

This isn’t your typical sponsored inverter review! We’ll discuss pure sine wave inverter performance, RF interference, amateur radio compatibility, and the challenges of diagnosing electronic failures without jumping to conclusions. I’ll share what I observed, what I could verify, and what remains unanswered. You’ll also hear how Junbpaw responded when I reported the problems and why they encouraged me to publish my findings anyway. At the end, I’m inviting fellow amateur radio operators, electronics technicians, and engineers to critique my testing methods, challenge my conclusions, and tell me what they would investigate next. This video includes a paid collaboration with Junbpaw, but the findings and opinions are entirely my own.
