Tom, No adjustment is required. In CALP state, the tuner must be working into a 50 ohm load for accurate power readings. If you are connected to an antenna that has a feedpoint impedance other than 50+j0 impedance, you can expect "unexpected" results. When you change the ATU menu to Auto and do a TUNE, the tuner has done its job of providing a 50 ohm match to the K2 and the power out will be as requested.
