K2 Linearize VCO question

[Eddy]

I notice in early documentation on the Elecraft website they mention running CAL PLL on each band, but in my K2 manual (Serial # 3600+) it only talks about running CAL PLL between 7000 and 7100, the 40-mtr band.

Can someone tell me the official recommendation on CAL PLL?

Thanks much!

It's only necessary to do it on one band. Later documentation is correct.

Ed,

Those early instructions were changed with firmware MCU release 2.00 and
above.
Hold any button down while you power on and the K3 will display the
firmware version briefly.  If it shows MCU 2.00 or above, run CAL PLL
only on 40 meters.
Below that version, run it on each band.
