output was 2.2 watts, with 1 turn off each it was 2.8 watts
Sound about right for an average of 1.3db, plus minus individual measurement error / construction technique on the coils. ( close wound or spaced).
Just think, a 3.5w rig might really be? a 5w one for the sake of one less? turn on a coil ;-)
I found this out with the designs a little while ago.
I was building my own amp, before Hans had one available, but I decided to use his plug in LPF's in my design.
But I got less power output that I had anticipated, so I measured them with a VNA and discovered nearly 1.5db loss.
After experimenting, it was just a case of removing a turn on each coil.
