Tony:

>Now on to complete several options: the 160 meter module and the ATU.

A word to the wise... DO NOT follow the instruction on page 9 which reads,

   "Connect the K2's internal frequency counter probe to TP1 (VFO
   test point). Use the menu to select CAL PLL, then hold EDIT a
   second time to initiate 160-meter VFO linearization. This takes
   about 2 minutes, after which you should see END on the display.
   Note: If you see INFO 231 on the display, you have probably
   connected the counter to the wrong test point. If you see INFO
   235, then the PLL reference oscillator range may be inadequate
   for 160-meter coverage. Refer to the troubleshooting section of
   the K2 Owner's Manual."

It is no longer required that oyu run CAL PLL on 160M. If CAL PLL is run 
ONCE on 40M, that's all that's required UNLESS you change the setting of 
C22 on the CONTROL PC board.
