I carry a Yamaha 2400 generator, that according to Yamaha is MSW, safe for electronics.
I just installed a stand alone XANTREX 1000 watt Prosine True sine wave inverter... My inverter probabaly makes a better sine wave than my generator.
Just for the record, I'm pretty sure the Yamaha 2400 inverter generator is pure sinewave not MSW. I also think it's hardware is VERY similar to their 2800 series inverter gen, which I've connected to an oscope and have seen that the output was cleaner than our local utility, even under load. It looked virtually perfect.
I guess we are both a little off. Per their web site:
"•The EF2400iSHC uses Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to produce high-quality electricity comparable to the power supplied by public utilities. Use this generator with confidence as a power source for microcomputer-controlled appliances and other devices with built-in computer functions."

For all intents and purposes it's PSW. The oscope shows a totally beautiful sinewave. Me thinks PWM is probably as close as you're going to get.
