[Elecraft] KX1 power out

[Mac]

Reston,
I finished mine a couple of weeks ago... with the same V(in) and same watt
meter also carefully calibrated, I get 3.4 on 20M, 3.75ish on 30M and 4 on
40M into an old Heath Cantenna (unmeasured resistance)

Hi Folks,

I just completed a new KX1 serial number >1000.   It passed all checks and
seems to be working perfectly, except I find the power out is marginally
low.
I use a WM-1 which is carefully calibrated.   In my case, at 13.4 V, I get 2
watts out on 20M and 3 watts on 40.   This appears to be just within specs
for
40, and at least 500 mw low on 20.   I am a very experienced builder,
including two K2s and two K1s.   Are my results within the normal range, or
....suggestions?
