Since the FCC legal limit is 4 watts, it doesn't take much to get
illegal.  But you don't usually see problems being caused to other
electronics devices until the power gets up over 100W.  (Funny note,
truckers refer to them as a "Linear", pronounced by them as Lin-year,
obviously a cropping of the full name "linear amplifier".)  Having said
that, it's common to see 1KW and higher Linears on long haul truckers'
rigs.
