sounds to me like you are trying to synchronize the generator with the
service which can be done.. But I think you lack the means to do so..

Of course, you could also get the gen kit that will sync it for you.

It is odd and somewhat creepy that you (JT) frequently ignore
the topic under discussion and instead present off-the-wall
ad hominem remarks about John Larkin. Such behavior is
unprofessional and can do you no possible good -- you have
nothing to gain by ad hominem posts.

JT's career has reach the point where he has nothing to lose, if you
get my drift.
