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.
