Gentlemen,
But the question really is:
What is the 'true' voltage.
IMHO, the true voltage is the voltage that is present inside the K2,
For others, the true voltage might be the voltage applied to the K2.
The stock K2 will indicate the actual voltage inside the K2, but by
adjusting the resistor, it can be skewed to indicate the power supply
voltage - however, that will skew the readings if one attempts to use
the internal voltmeter to read voltages with the probe - the readings
will be skewed by the amount of 'correction',
Each to his own choice.

That's an interesting idea; however if you ever go back to assembly
steps using the internal DVM, you would have to compensate for the
offset you put in (assuming it is a pure offset and no gain factor is
involved), or use an external DVM for those steps.
I prefer having my internal DVM reading the true voltage.
I think you misunderstand - the adjustment is specifically to have
the display show the true voltage.
The K2 uses a voltage divider (R9, R10) into an op amp (U3B) to
determine the displayed voltage; the resistors used are "only" 1%,
so there is some inaccuracy in the resulting "V SENSE". Changing
R10 to a trimpot allows me to set the bridge accurately.
