I just unpacked my ¦Ìbitx to check what was supplied and no time yet to hook it up.
Just a thought on the output power drop.
Can you try simulating reducing C93 and C94 so that with the corresponding higher reactance at lower frequencies less drive will be available at lower frequencies.
A value could be found to more or less even out the drive across the frequency range since the gate capacitance higher reactance at lower frequencies?will compensate for the increased capacitive reactance of C93 and C94 while on the higher frequencies the opposite will be true.
