Ken I am not sure what you mean
You just need the Pentax RAW codec installed and you can download it from the Japanese or American sites.
Please could explain a bit more.

Just buy a bigger memory card and shoot RAW+ then you have the added bonus of not having to process the RAW files if the jpeg is OK

Agreed +1
You can also delete any RAW files not needed if the JPG is sufficient.
Lens tests and the like don't need RAW files.
JPG's off Pentax cameras are huge and must contain much more
detail than normal JPG's saved from an editing program, which
are usually half the size.

Dave, you can downolad the codec from Microsoft too which allows Windows to display PEFs link
Doesn't seem to include K-5 PEFs yet.
It does include the K-7 though - I haven't had a K-7, are K-5 PEFs different from K-7 ones?

Pentax K-3, DA18-135, DA35 F2.4, DA17-70, DA55-300, FA28-200, A50 F1.7, A100 F4 Macro, A400 F5.6, Sigma 10-20 EXDC, 50-500 F4.5-6.3 APO DG OS Samsung flash SEF-54PZF(x2)
.
are K-5 PEFs different from K-7 ones
Every model has its own slightly different PEF which, IMO makes DNG the RAW capture of choice.
