I have  noticed an irregularity on my K2 output.

When setting the power level a  2 watts, and then using the ATU I get a 
reading on my SWR/power meter in  the line of 4 watts.   Setting power 
on the K2 to 3 watts, I get  4 watts on the in line meter. I thought the 
meter might be faulty, so  replaced it with another with the same 
result.  And the ATU gives me  a reading of, say 1.3:1, whereas the 
SWR/power unit shows  3:1.

Try replacing the antenna with with a dummy load and see what the result is  
then.
 
The external SWR meter will be a voltage reading device and you may be at  
point where the voltage is higher. Changing to a dummy load should give the  
correct answer.
