[Elecraft] K2 Requested vs. Indicated Power Output

Gentlemen, I have a question concerning the power level requested and the indicated power delivered by the K2. How close should the indicated power track the requested power level? My K2, #4473, is very close at about 2 watts, but below or above this requested power level it varies in the
