Hi Tim,

In addition to G4DMP's paper on how to modify the K2 for 5 MHz operation, you
can check out our application note at:

    http://www.elecraft.com/Apps/k2on60.htm

This modification will get you on 60 meters temporarily. We don't recommend
using more than 15 watts at present because on this band, the KPA100 module will
have a 30/40 m low-pass filter selected, providing no attenuation of the 2nd
harmonic of 5 MHz.

Meanwhile, we're working on an official 60-meter adaoter for the K2, to be
available later this year (K60XV).
