I'll keep this short as two thumb typing is hard to do. 

I understand the electronic aspect of it as well as the tolerance and logarithm 
of real power in the real world. 

Please, please, please understand I KNOW that no one on the other end will know 
the difference. 

But, I paid almost $3000 for a radio that displays on the front panel 100 watts 
output when the real power into a dummy load @13.9 volts @ the radio power 
connection I have 76 watts on 20 meters out of the box brand spanking new. 

This is NOT a 'simple adjustment-- no one will notice' problem. 

No one, not me, not you, should pay three grand and then need to  crack the 
case open to adjust anything. 

This is not a 'no one can tell the difference problem,' this is a quality 
control problem. 

If the display on my brand new $3k  Omni 7 says 100 watts, then by god the 
power output should be "close."

85 watts is fine, but the display should reflect the rf output of 85 watts (not 
lab gear, I know)


With sore thumbs,

Mike
