Well this may be of no help but my Paragon will do the
same thing if the SWR goes too high or if there is a
mismatch that it does not like. I have the matching
supply for the Paragon and when it does this, you shut
the supply off and turn it back on and all is well
unless you key it and the SWR or mismatch is big. Then
it will shut down again. May want to try it into a
dummy load and watch the SWR and see what happens.
