[Elecraft] K2 40m transmitter alignment: Low Current?

[ChrisM]

I just finished my K2, #7054, and am doing the 40m transmitter allignment. 
Power Supply 12v 29amp switching.
Voltage and Current at 11.7v and approx 220mA, Freq at 7100. 

I peaked L1 and L2 no problems.  Have 2W on setting and reading approx 2W
with internal power meter. When I set the power to 5W Internal meter
measured approx 5W but current only increased to just over 500mA. At 10W
internal meter read a bit over 10W but current only at approx 660mA. No
change in voltage. The manual states the current should be 1.3 to 1.6 Amps
at 5W and 1.8 to 2 Amps at 10W.

I have read about little or no power out with high current, but not good
power out with almost no current increase.

Could the power meter/or current meter be incorrect, did I mess something
up, or is this Ok (Some Kind of Magic)?
