The difference between the external supply DC voltage and that indicated by the MPU-controlled LED is due to the voltage drop across the reverse polarity and external/internal DC power auctioneering diode D2. What the LED shows is, in fact, the voltage at which the KX1 internal electronics are operating. It's all perfectly correct.
