Hi Don,

I've had the same problem. I wrote to elecraft and this is the answer
from Gary:

"CAL PLL is NOT RUN on any other band than 40m with the version 2 MCU
firmware. See items #9 and #10 of the attached errata sheet.

This is true even if the 160m adapter is installed, regardless of what
its
instructions may say. We will have to update the K160RX manual to
reflect
the new firmware change to CAL PLL."

In easy words: The CALL PLL is  o n l y  running on 40m and  n o t  on
other bands with the version 2 MCU firmware!

Have fun with your K2. 

73, Uli DK2LS
K2 # 2235
