I think the big difference between the two radios is the antennas. If you could swap those antennas I think the results would be jsut the opposite of what you are seeing/hearing. There's just quite a difference in those two antennas, the 'duck' being the disadvantaged one in all cases unless it happens to be VERY near the transmitter. If I'm understanding you correctly, that's a fairly typical performance by a 'duck'. Most 'S' meters in an HT are not exactly the most reliable for measuring strength, they are all relative at best.
