John,
The Info 080 says that the main K2 microprocessor knows that the option is
present, but its firmware has not properly responded. Check the soldering
at the header pins (both the RF Board and the option board) and check the
soldering at the K60XV firmware chip. If that does not correct it, I
recommend that you call Scott or Brian at Elecraft and discuss the
possibility of a firmware chip replacement.
There is one very remote possibility that the header in the RF board has a
pin that is not making adequate contact.
