Hi Chris,

The KX1's hardware was very carefully optimized to cover the existing  
four bands (80, 40, 30, 20). It's unlikely that we'd try to put it on  
60 meters. You can listen on 60 m, although the receive loss will be  
somewhat high because it falls between the 80 and 40 meter band-pass  
filter ranges.

The KX1 includes three different BFO modes (CW, LSB, USB). You'd want  
to use USB on 60 m, at least in the U.S.

73,
Wayne
