100 GW
This is a new radio just now coming out that would be a lot of fun to use on the trike, the IC7300:
It weighs 10 pounds, so it is not too heavy for a 100 watt HF radio with built in antenna tuner and high resolution fast band scope. This is a direct digital sampling radio so it runs an ADC at 126 mhz and grabs the HF spectrum through one of 15 analog bandpass filters, a preamp and straight into the ADC under FPGA control. Then from the FPGA into a DSP and onto the audio amplifier and speaker. An almost entirely software radio.
