[Elecraft] [K2] Sensitivity on 17m

During a SOTA activation Saturday I used 17m quite a bit as well as 15 and
20.  Sensitivity on 17m seemed weaker than on adjacent bands and I thought
it could be my antenna (44' doublet up 25' with 450 ohm ladder linie through
a BL1 4:1 and KAT2).

Tonight I decided to check it with my XG3 and indeed the 1uV setting is
noticeably weaker than on 15 and 20.  I first redid RX alignment of L10 and
L11 on 15m and then C32 and C34 for 17m with no improvement.  The S-meter
reads the same for all 3 XG3 levels but 1uV sounds weaker on 17.  Anyone
have any ideas?
