Does 0.8W output on 10m/12m sound more like a problem with the lowpass filters or with T2 being too close to the board?

I re-peaked the 10M inductors at 28.2 and again at 28.4 just for a test, and still get just under 1W, either directly into a good dummy load with the KAT2 measuring, or with an external wattmeter. I haven't tried twirling the 12m trimmers.

I bought T2 from Mychael so I know it is optimally wound, but I mounted it tight to the board, which I know is wrong, but it seems that this gives 5-6W out instead of the <1W I am getting.

I am looking for advice on whether my next step should be to remount T2 (which will require rewinding it as the leads are clipped now), or taking a deeper look at the filters.

Might an RX sensitivity test tell me something here, as I have the XG1?
