Darin,

Very commonly, inverter powered neons are run at much higher freq. than a
standard mains-run one. I bought one and connected my Tek220 across it, and
found that the inverter kicked out a whopping 300KHz - apparently the high
frequency stops blobbing and streaming inside the neon tube. Your best bet -
hook a scope up to the 120V out and see the line freq.

Regards,
Jason
