[Yaesu] A FT-1000MP warning

[Artmouton]

Yeah - I used a double pole knife switch between my Johnson Challenger and 
S-107 (later replaced by an HT-37 and HQ-145).  No telling the SWR on that 
thing but I did work quite a few states.
I finally got a TR switch saving my money from working at Stop & Shop for 
.90 cents an hour.
