[Elecraft] requested v. actual power out

[Bruce Bowman]

I'm experiencing a similar result with just-completed #4793. Power 
displayed at the bottom end of a 2-needle Armitron power meter seems to 
agree with expected better than the internal power reading. I've assumed 
that the problem is accumulated calibration errors between the K2 ADC 
and the external meter, but...??? Consistent with this is the displayed 
current which also reads high by about 15% above the high limit.
