"...I found that a setting of 12w
actually netted near 16w output 160-20m, but dropped to 8w on 10 &
6m...."

What Bird slug are you using?  Remember that a calibrated BIRD is only 
guarenteed to be +-5% for a full scale reading.  If you are less than 
full-scale, the accuracy can be much less.  Assuming that you are using the 
same slug, the relative difference between 160-20 and 10-6 meters is 
probably about right.  But the absolute power readings could be off.
