Carl,

The bridge in the 5K is calibrated with the ATU physically out of the 
circuit.. There is some effect of the ATU physically connected at 6.   
Make sure that you dummy load is good (good 50 ohm load )  at six 
meters..   Some watt meters and antennas loads will not indicate 
reliably on 6 meters. 

73,
Dudley
