Are there any specs for the accuracy of these meters?

Mine are not very accurate.  For example, on RX, the ammeter reads
about 200 mA low.
Measured current is 1.24A but the rig says 1.02A.

The voltmeter is also shy, by what looks like the voltage drop of a Si diode.

When transmitting at 100W carrier, the ammeter reads about a half-amp low.

Not really that big a deal -- except if it's indicating I have messed
something up.
It's for the same reason that I check my gas mileage every fill up.
If it changes a lot, I know something is amiss.
