[Elecraft] K160 effect on 80/75m power

This may be normal, but wanted to check if others see a slightly reduced power output at the high end of 75m after installing the K160 module. After peaking L3 and L4 on 160m per the instruction manual, I notice that on 80m around 3.5Mhz, when the K2 power is set to 10w, I can only get about 9w
