[Yaesu] FL-2100 BandSwitch Needed...

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

The key to longevity is being sturdy enough and then never switching 
with RF applied. Probably 5 KV and 15 or 20 amps is adequate which rules 
out the most common switch sizes.

RF Parts and Surplus Sales of Nebraska come to mind (along with Yaesu) 
as sources. There's a slight chance Mouser or Digi-Key may have a sturdy 
enough switch, but its less likely. Mounting and fitting inside the case 
can be an issue with the sturdier switch because it takes large air gaps 
to achieve a greater voltage rating and that has to make the switch larger.

I might convert that one to 6m for him so the switch isn’t an issue, wish I could rob contacts from his switch wafers to make one good switch but someone tried to fix that one and busted it all to heck and its just a mess but I will see what I can salvage.
