It is a normal indication but ... the power is not actually increasing. The
power display is only accurate when feeding a tuned ( 50 ohm resistive )
load. The untuned antenna is causing the reading to be in error.

I've noticed that with my K2 the power increases with highter swr. While
adjusting the tuner as the swr goes up the power increases and sometimes
doubles and when going down the power goes down. Just last night, I was
running 5 watts and switched to another antenna. I forgot to tune the
antenna before transmitting and the transmit power went from 5 to 10 watts
because, of the higher swr. I've noticed this before. Is this normal?
It seems to make more sense for the opposite to happen.
