Scotty,
Just a bit of history - the 2SC2166 was originally used in both the K1, K2 and
KX1, but then the supply of those dried up, and the 2SC5739 was used as a
replacement.
Later as things would have it, the 2SC5739 became "unobtainium" but a supply of
the 2SC2166 was found,
The 2SC5739 actually worked better in the KX1 and at the higher bands on the
K2, but made no difference in the K1.
I do wish the 2SC5739 were still available - I found some in China and bought
10 of them - tried one and threw the rest in the trash, they certainly did not
live up to the normal specs, but might have been OK for audio frequencies.

Scotty,
Install the 2SC2166 at Q6.
I am not certain which manual revision you are using, but at the top left of
the K1 manual Rev I, you should see the following:
"TO-220 package transistors Q6 and Q7 look identical, but are
different types. Locate the 2SC1969 (labeled "C1969"), Q7, and set it
aside. The remaining transistor, Q6, will be either a 2SC2166 (C2166)
or a 2SC5739 (C5739). This transistor will be installed first"
73,
