Greetings:

I do not use it to run the air.  It does everything else very well.  The only RF noise I've had is with the converter in the pod.  I replaced it with the better one and no longer have a problem.  Inverters operate at high frequency and down convert it to 60 cycle sine wave, which  is the best for any electronics.  I change oil after every use.

I would think probably no. My Honda 2K will run the A/C but nothing else simultaneously.  The a/c takes about 15 amps which is right at the max for an 1850 watt genny. So with he easystart it will probably start on the generator but trip off as soon as the a/c compressor builds up back pressure. You could try it one time though, once you get the easystart installed.
