A local has one of those - he's very active in contesting and dx so the amp gets used a LOT.  Excellent amp but super sensitive to feedline & switching integrity.  I think in each case he has tracked it down to something out in the field.  Based on the description I would guess there is a problem outside somewhere.

W1JCW's issue is probably antenna / feedline related so towertalk may be more 
appropriate. I tried to use an Acom 2000a on AI6V (sk) / P49V's SteppIR and it 
would not stay on even for a second. I am guessing that there was minor arcing 
in the antenna tape or other connection after being exposed to constant salt 
spray for several years.

amps@contesting.com, while not specific to Acom, has a lot to offer.
