Low Power ?

I wonder if my K2 (Serial # 2424 with latest mods and software) is set up correctly and would appreciate comments.  Output power with CAL CURR set at 3.0 amps is as below.  Increasing CAL CURR to 5 amps makes little difference.  I know that the K2 is basically a 10 watt rig and I get more on some bands, but the upper bands do not achieve this.  When using the K2 with my KW1000 Linear Amplifier a watt or two makes a difference.
80 Meters = 13.0 watts out
40 Meters = 10.0 watts out
30 Meters = 12.0 watts out
20 Meters = 11.0 watts out
15 Meters =  8.0 watts out
12 Meters =  9.5 watts out
10 Meters =    7.0 watts out

Thanks in advance for your advice - Larry (G0IKE)
