All:
Please note this (trimmed) frame from the video just as the amp
is tripping. If you simply play the video you might not be able to
see this but if you step through you'll see that the frame is
there.
This would normally cause one to suspect that something after the
amplifier is intermittent, but I suppose it could be an amp issue
of some sort. Another less likely possibility is that there is a
burst of off-frequency signal being fed to the amp or caused by
the amp that is resulting in an actual high SWR. In any case, the
amp is tripping because it really does seem to think there's an
SWR problem.
Note that these kinds of problems can be power dependent and not
show up at lower power.
My suggestion is to start with a different cable from the amp and
run that direct to a known good dummy load to see if there's an
issue that way. I suspect it will be fine. If not, try another
radio to drive the amp and as a last resort call Palstar.
