have seen brake failure with as little as 60 watts on VHF-hi (a Ford).

Really? That's whacked. How the hell did you see it?


Happened when I was working at a 2-way shop in Oregon. Since the auto
makers dumped the responsibility of RF compatibility onto the radio
makers, the procedure (as described in the manuals) for installing a
commercial radio into -any- vehicle requires that it be driven and
keyed up with the brakes applied. One failed the test.
