I will echo what was already mentioned. Your measurements are about the same as what I get on my K1. 15 meters has always been a bit lower than the other bands.
One other thing I have noticed is that the power readout on the K1 is not linear across the bands. I checked mine with a fairly accurate QRP wattmeter. If you align the power meter on the K1 so that it accurately measures 5 watts on 40 meters, it will read a little high on 15 meters and visa-versa. I set mine to be spot-on at 20 meters and it is close enough now on all the bands. Have fun!
