And what if this was done this with the standard 2.7 KHz filter? Filter
passband ripple has the the stock answer to what people are observing.
Also what about dynamic vs static differences. Is it possible in the
dynamic situation the differences would be greater?
It does sound like there is some confusion precision with accuracy. A
measuring device might offer high precision and resolution but lower
absolute accuracy. People often make accurate difference measurements
with with a device which less accurate than the delta one observes. If
the difference are small, they can be quite accurate.

Two things here ... 10% is abut 0.4 dB. How did you measure the power
difference and did you do so with an instrument with enough resolution
to accurately measure that difference at the power level you were using?
For example a Bird Wattmeter can't possibly measure with that level of
accuracy nor is one likely to be able to read an analog meter that
closely.
I have measured my K3 on RTTY with a wattmeter traceable to NIST and
specified for 3% accuracy and have done so at four specific power
levels (25, 55, 80 and 105 Watts) to eliminate any ALC non-linearity
or PA compression from consideration. The specific Mark/Space power
levels were measured by placing the rig into transmit in FSK_D mode
with the FSK input closed (Mark), measuring the power output for a
given power setting, then opening the FSK input and noting the PO
(and change).
In all cases, the difference between MARK and SPACE was less than 2%
(less than the meter's specified accuracy) and at two power levels (55
and 80 W) the measured difference was less than 0.2W (<0.2 dB at 55W).
These measurements were made with standard "High tones" (2125/2295 Hz)
and the K3 was equipped with the optional 2.8 KHz, 8 pole IF filter.

Thanks much, Bill, W8NN
