Just re-reading your post I thought I would add the following thoughts. If 25 watts from a particular antenna is full quieting and 15 watts from the same antenna sequentially measured...is noop... this is not a duplexer problem... those 2 numbers are less than 2 db apart you

No, you just got confirmation that you had the duplexers close to spec, and the cost is not out of line for labor and test equipment if everything was done correctly. You only tuned one piece of the entire system however so there may be other things lurking in the background. Something in one
