Some raw numbers from today

I set the KAW on VA before I plugged in
1462 va visible surge , in rush?
119.3vac
11.70 amps
PF 0.70
985 watts
1394 va
DC amps 64.5
dc volts 13.8
I did not see the dc start/surge amps
I what I was looking for was the start va ,
I realize the instantaneous in rush is likely more and can not be measured with this equipment
None the less I think the pd70 is a good option for campers with a Honda 2000I generator
