there are guys in my area that have that in their vehicles (!!)... a friend
was telling me about driving his buddy's equiped vehicle and the guy forgot
to tell my friend to rev the engine before he keyed the mic... the engine
died immediately right in the middle of town while turning in an
intersection... took a minute or two for them to get it restarted and moved
off the road...

some of the things i've seen have definitely been custom made... and, IIRC,
several are more than 1000 watts... i know that they talk about talking to
folks in other states and this location is not very high up... in fact, the
smokies are bewteen us and several of those other states mentioned...
