Maybe his radios have pre-amps like the Drakes.

When you use a passive splitter the loss is 3dB power and 6dB voltage.
I
think most radio S meters are responding to the voltage number due to
the nature of the AGC circuits. Someone can correct me on this. Should
be easy enough to take a splitter in and out of line.

Almost all modern receivers use teh AGC voltage for the
"S-meter". And very few have any meaningfull calibration.
