  I wonder why 160m is an option on the K2 other
than the fact that it won't fit on the main PCB.
To me, an HF transceiver doesn't deserve the name
if it doesn't have "Top Band". 
  I finished my K2 just a couple of days ago and
have not been on 160m, except into the dummy load
for aligning. I didn't buy the 160m option just to
'complete' the K2 - I intend to use it.

Ian, K2 #4962
