All the guns were standard guns. Bee III, Stalker II, and Golden Eagle for Ka. I don't remember which gun we used for K band, but it was also a standard gun. No trickery with Falcon HR's or anything.

The Stalker II is working fine, the calibration was good up to about a year ago, and we used a fully charged battery.

To add more data points and give us a better idea of the big picture, particularly without rain being a factor, here's a more recent test along similar lines. In that one we used a Bee III, Stalker II, Genesis II, and Python II. (Funny how they all have a II or III at the end of their name.) Anyways, in this one, overall from best to worst it was K band, 33.8, 34.7, 35.5.
I'm not interested in using your Hot Link to that Forum as I'm on an extended leave of absence from there until they get serious about moving forward from the past.(Comments from Staff to my departure Post lacked a far from conciliatory tone or attitude as I suspected would happen!!! - so please refrain from repeating that.)

I wasn't attempting to complicate the inquiry, but rather pointing out the transmitted power level difference factors between the various models which could affect range.
