ML I think that you have fingered an important feature the effects of which are more
relevant in SP than in MP.
The test speed of own platform is crucial as at 4kts the very faint tonal or more often an intermittent BB SNR of 1 may account for increased range results in the SW. Also sprint, drifts may be a test variable. Perhaps these may account for my Stock test ranges beeing greater and therefore showing a higher performance edge of the TB29 over Pel. Your tests confirm the 24% gap on average but higher performance is frequently obtained with a 60% gap with care. The SWs BB SNR has an advantage over the AKs
and the AKs early-day fleeting tonal ghost is no compensation.
But for MP I will have a look (this weekend) at the implications for quiet sub v sub contests. If only to reassure myself in confirming your findings. Thanks again for your testing and valuable contribution.
