Some of the others have received the LT9100 and have similar results.
One measured about 50uW (yes fifty microwatts), -13dBm.
It's not that difficult to amplify to a reasonable level, with modules I have. The trouble is that I have to modify the transceiver internally to access the PTT function. it will not be a handheld radio any more, but it will fall into my definition of (partly) home made, as a major operation is required.
It's possible to make a transceiver with low cost and low standby power, e.e. for use with the local repeater. For the price of the HT and the modules I already have, this is a reasonable project.
