2. Specifications
All measurements were made using a 14.0 V supply and 50-ohm
load unless otherwise indicated. Values are typical; your results will
be somewhat different. Specifications are subject to change without
notice. (See option manuals for additional specifications.)

The K2 can receive well outside the indicated bands, but this extended
range is not specified or guaranteed Transmit ranges may be limited for
export to some countries. The K2/100 (KPA100 option) limits transmit from
25-27.999 MHz to 10 watts or less.
