   In a thread in another group Baofeng radios came up for discussion.   
   There was one listed on eBay with a miraculous 18W output and a 8000 mAh   
   battery. People on the ham forums were of the opinion a small, handheld   
   transceiver might put out 18W of RF power for a few seconds before the   
   melting plastic became annoying.
