I must correct you on that, Bob, to prevent any misunderstanding. The 
"Notice of Variation" to the UK Amateur Licence allows use on five 
min-bands as follows:

5258.5 to 5261.5 kHz
5278.5 to 5281.5 kHz
5288.5 to 5291.5 kHz
5398.5 to 5401.5 kHz
5403.5 to 5406.5 kHz

The permitted types of transmission are: Morse, Telephony, RTTY, Data, 
Facsimile and SSTV. There is a "maximum power level" of 200W PEP (23dBW 
relative to 1W).

Because of the small bands, the use of narrow modes is particularly 
recommended. When telephony is used, the reference to USB is merely a 
recommendation, a sort of band plan, because military use USB and we are 
permitted to communicate with military and military cadet organisations 
using those bands. Needless to say, when USB is used the centre carrier 
frequency should be positioned towards the LF end of the band in use.

The K60XV on the K2 works very well on 60 metres and I can highly 
recommend it.
