Its not uncommon to see a 10% variation from one wound iron power core to
another.? Add to that even 10% caps and yes they can gang up on you.
My first test it to make sure the winding occupies 2/3 of the core or spread
them so it does then test. if not take off a winding or two.
The expected loss at 14.0 should be more like .5db but be sure you not
measuring a cable as well!? Its easy to get bitten by a cable or test setup.
