Ron: did you check the output frequency? The way I understand the K2 design,
if you select a freq it can't do, it'll do something anyhow. 100W on the
wrong freq is not particularly useful<g>.

(Of course you know better than this, but you didn't say and I had to ask!)

GOOD CATCH Dan! You are so right. The K2 PLL just stops changing frequency
when it hits a tuning limit. I was thinking of output LP filter issues and
not what the PLL might do.

In my case, it actually transmits on all of these frequencies except 4872:

3308 kHz

4872 kHz - actual 4048 kHz

7633.5 kHz

13927 kHz

My K2's PLL stops at 4048. Most of them will tune higher, but I don't know
how much higher.

Thanks!
