I'm a bit late answering this one. My K2 is spot on, set to 20 WPM, it is exactly 20 WPM based on the standard Morse test word of PARIS.

I tested my K2 last night using PARIS and also got exactly 20 wpm when it was
set for that speed.  Interestingly, my K1 seems to send 20 wpm when set for 21
wpm, and a Ten-Tec Jupiter I tested sends 20 wpm when set at 22 wpm.
