Leo,

The proposed U.S. allocation is 5.250-5.400 (or maybe 5.450), but this
may change. Our best guess is that the U.S. band will be available in 6
months to one year.

In the U.K., an experimental license can now be obtained that allows
operation on several specific, very narrow segments (3 kHz wide). I
believe the segments are all within the same band that is proposed for
the U.S.

We're working on a 60-meter option for the K2 (the K60XV), which will
also include a low-level transveter interface. We have already completed
lab tests of a K2 modified for 60 meter use. However, due to other
project commitments, it will take roughly two more months to get this
product into field test. Details will be posted later.

73,
