Low pass filter in line?

If the amp works on a dummy load, then look beyond the amp at this time until
you have eliminated everything else.
Somewhere else you are getting a voltage breakdown that is arcing and tripping
off the amp due to high swr. An MFJ analyzer will not show that.

Yes. Lots of "off-brand" coax is junk. So are most un-branded connectors. If the PL29-style
connector doesn't say Amphenol 83-1SP, it's probably junk. How well is the connector soldered or crimped? If
crimped, was it done with the "official" crimper for the "official" crimp connector that
matches THAT specific coax? If not, it's suspect.
Are you using any of those shiny adapters that are sold at hamfests for a few
bucks? They're JUNK! Ask me how I know. :) They have caused me many problems
that were tricky to diagnose.
IMO, the only GOOD coax connectors say "Amphenol" on them, or are ancient
MIL-spec parts with MIL numbers stamped into them. I snap up stuff like this when I find
it at ham flea markets.
