Jim and all,

For older K2s, I have seen one report that changing the winding of T7 from 
the old 11:3 turns to the newer 20:5 turns allows one to pick up an 
additional 3 dB gain.
I haven't tried it yet on my Field Test SN00020, so I cannot speak from 
personal experience.  The newer turns ratio was in K2 manual rev C, but the 
Field Test and Rev A manuals used the older turns ratio - other than that I 
don't know when the cutover was made.
If you have an older K2 with the 11:3 turns ratio, you might want to give it 
a try and let the rest of us know the results.
