Well, yes, not that it is an easy thing to maintain. I imagine that's a PEP measurement that they want. Your power reading on an average reading meter would be on the order of a couple of watts, depending on your voice characteristics. This would work best if you had some kind of RF clipper/processor, like the Drake SP-75/Diawa/Ten-Tec/etc. This would help keep your PEP level where you want it. The other issue is, at that power level you would probably have higher IMD on the transmit signal because you are operating close to the crossover point of the PA transistors.
