[Elecraft] K144XV output power range

My external watt meter does not agree with the power output bar graph display
on the K3 except in the very middle of the power range.  While turning the
power control from 0.1 to 1.0 W., the bar graph shows the expected 1 to 10
display.  But my watt meter display goes from about 5.8 to 7.5 W.

Does my watt meter really suck, or is this a behavior that others have seen? 
The K144XV manual suggests that an upper value of 7.5 W is not unreasonable
given the accuracy of most meters.  But 5.8 W for a minimum output power
seems way too high.

Anybody have numbers to compare?
