almost sounds like the radio might need an alignment?
Though I know that on the outside edges of the tx range, IE low end of 160
and top end of 10 meters, most rigs will show lesser output power.
I see similar things on my rig as well.
Perhaps an alignment would average out the power better across the entire tx
range...
