[Elecraft] How accurate is Supply Voltage display (PS)

[ok4rm]

Hello, I would like to know how accurate is the display of PS value. I
suspect it always shows lower value by about 0.2 to 0.3 V. For instance,
when I use Li-Po accupack 3S1P 3300 mAh that normally gives 35C, i.e. some
100 A (therefore I think it has no problem with internal resistance at low
currents up to 5 A). 

When KX3 takes 168 mA and I measure 12.26 V on the battery, KX3 shows 12.0
V. Then I turn on speaker and preamp and increase consumption to 250 - 300
mA (i.e. almost double), but I still measure the same voltages, i.e. the
difference is not caused by power supply cable.

Is some calibration possible? Or did I miss something (a schottky diode in
KX3 prehaps)?
