All else being equal that should produce a 10dB change in signal power,
unless *something* in the
chain is already at saturation due to other factors in the Tx chain.
Keep in mind that a 10dB change
on a logarithmic scale isn't very much.

There seem to be *two* versions of tunnel.py in the examples--which one
are you talking about?
Have you put the output of the transmit side on a spectrum analyser?
That would tell you
unambiguously what the bandwidth is, but also careful and
knowledgeable inspection of the
code will tell you what the theoretical bandwidth is.
