I totally disagree. If the manufacturer specifies that the transmitter puts out 100W, and indeed uses that as a part of the part number on the order sheet, then it's not unreasonable for the customer to expect 100 W out.

That's like buying a Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 and discovering that it's not 610 HP and four-wheel drive but two-wheel drive and 300 HP and being told, why complain, it's still faster than a Prius.

Hi Guys;..
One fellow seemed unhappy with a rig putting out "only" 80 watts instead of the full 100, but there is no way the ham on the other end of the QSO is going to detect the "deficit". It pretty much boils down to "Can he hear me" and "Can I hear him"? If the answer is yes to both questions, then all the rest is just fodder for textbooks and endless discussion/arguing.
