Oh, and I have checked, and C167 is indeed installed. :)

Moving L1/L2 through their full range has no effect, the power fluctuates between 0.2 and 0.4W regardless. It's the same on all bands.

It appears strange to me because the other resistors read correctly while installed, but these do not. So, perhaps this is my problem?
