[Elecraft] K2 - 40m Distortion Zones

In the testing phase of my K2 I noticed something strange happening on 40
meters. With the SSB and CW modes (all filter options) I hear (all received
signals) and will transmit on the following frequencies (SSB & CW) what
sounds like 60 cycle modulated hum (very loud). On USB the frequency range
is 7180 thru 7184, in LSB the frequency range is 7182 thru 7187.  Except for
the SSB module no other options are installed.  This happens with both an
outside antenna and a dummy load.  When I tune outside these frequency
ranges all works well.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
