Greetings!!

I am new to this list, but not too awfully new to amateur radio,
been licensed 42 years....but maybe that don't mean much!

I have a recently acquired Yaesu FL-2100B. I have never owned
one of these, but I have several other amps.

Anyhoo....the second time I used it, the bandswitch arced and
burnt to a crisp! Maybe I'm not tuning it up properly?

My desire is to use it on 40 meter AM.....yep! AM!!! I want
to run about 150-175 watts of carrier, driving the amp with an
FT-101EX through a Dentron MT-3000A to a W9INN dipole (which
is resonant on 7290).

How do I do this without burning up the bandswitch again,
assuming it was my fault in the first place???

Thanks es
