50-70 watts out is fine, that will provide adequate drive for most amps to run their full rated power out.  If you don’t want that much, turn it down.

>> Ok, I am going out on a limb. I have been trying to imagine an FT8 all in one radio. How about this- A radio that is 6 by 10" or so with a screen that lays flat on top and swivels up for use. Mouse but only and an optional keyboard since the programs are primarily mouse driven. The computer (raspberry pi et al.)  inside the radio box. 50watts output, 160-6m and all mode. A jack for an external monitor would be good. This would make a very portable digital radio that only needs an antenna, dc, and a mouse or track pad to make it work, but also have the ability to expand for more fixed use.
