There are several things I'd suggest:
- First don't trigger the SWR protection unless the forward voltage/power is greater than some threshold.? If the voltage/power is low enough there's no need for protection.
- The other thing is not to have a one way switch, the power could be restored after an interval, or after Tx has been stopped.
- Ideally just reduce the power when the SWR is high, then as the SWR reduces the power can be increased.? The IC-7300 does this and with a two meter display it's easy first to tune for max power, then for min SWR.
None of these is difficult, it's only software.
