input vs output power

[Jeffrey Herman]

Why is it that tube xmtrs are rated by input power, and SS xmtrs by
output power? Is it that SS rigs are expected to be operated into
a fixed impedance, but no such expectations accompany tube rigs?
(Of course, that's not true - many tube rigs terminate with an
SO-239 connector, unless it's a Heath!)
