Don, I never knew it would damage the 480 to run 100 watts on FM.  
I have owned one for several years with seemingly no ill effects 
when operating 10 or 6 FM using full power.  I have noticed when 
switching to the AM mode that the power will only be 25 watts 
max.  I guess we could use further clarification on this.  Jim
