Could be that the notch depth was obscured by the noise floor of the
analyzer, coax leakage, or other factors, and you just couldn't see the
change.
When tuning a set for the local club, I had the rejects down to where I
couldn't see the bottoms with my tracking generator at 11dBm and noise
floor at -70 IIRC, and I had to use an HT for signal source and tune
the notches that way. Scary thought when a bit too much input would
permanently smoke my analyzer.
But, if you're getting enough notch, then it's enough :)
