I have occasionally noticed small intermodulation products from broadcast
stations on 40 with my K2. They are normally pretty weak and disappear with
the preamp switched off. In Europe it needs a pretty good receiver to work
close to the MWatt stations and the K2 performance although excellent is not
quite there. But have consolation, my first rig, a Yaesu FT201, was
virtually unusable on 40m at night, attenuator or not. Things have come
along a lot over the years.
