3 Watts? Please. The original car cell phones (and bag phones) were 3 watts. The old CB radios were 4 Watts.

The standard output from an amateur radio Handie Talkies is 5 Watts. My 2m car transceiver is 45 Watts. My original 10m radio in my car was 300 Watts.

Most cellphones today put out about 100-600 mW.
