it would appear that your definition of PEP is different from the FCC's
definition. here is what the FCC says PEP is from part 97, thus it can be
measured at the radio otherwise, you are measuring the loss if measured at
the end of the coax where it attaches to the antenna and you could be
emitting more power than allowed by law.

(6) PEP (peak envelope power). The average power supplied to the antenna transmission line by a
transmitter during one RF cycle at the crest of the modulation envelope taken under normal
