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.

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.
