[Elecraft] K2/100 Power Calibration Question

Can anyone shed some light on this?
I can accurately calibrate my KPA100's power indication EITHER at high
power (20-100 W) OR at low power (0.1-10 W) but not both. The position of
R26 (FWD power calibration pot) is very different between the two settings.
It appears that I might be able to cure this problem by changing the value
of the two 3.9 K "SCALE" resistors (which are inserted into the circuit
during high power measurement but are removed from the circuit for low
power measurement). But these resistors are part of resistor network RP1,
which I do not look forward to removing without some good advice.
In my case, I believe I have calculated that each of the two 3.9 Ks should
be increased to about 4.1 K, which prevents me from simply paralleling
another resistor with them. But I would want to insert a 5 K pot instead,
just in case my calculations are off.
Has anyone solved, or experienced, a similar problem?
