[Yaesu] 50W switch

[certified-electronics at juno.com]

John,
I could be wrong here, but I'm going to take a stab at that switch. I
think it
possibly limits the 10 meter output to 50 watts.  I bought an FT-101S in
Japan
many years ago and their limit was 50w for ten meters.  Just guessing but
I'd 
check the power output on 10 meters after you flip that switch around.
Only a guess !
