I have a Yaesu FT-2600M that turns off when keyed up, then comes right
back on (in all power settings). I know the radio has high SWR
protection and have tested the SWR on my antenna (Comet GP9N with 9913)
and it's extremely low with an Icom IC-V8000 radio at full power. Does
anyone know what could cause this? It wasn't used for a year or so
before this and was working fine. It was mounted in my work van for 3
years. Under the cover it looks bran new with no blown components or
smells. Thanks for any help.

make sure the power connections are all strong and clean. perhaps the
fuse needs replacement, or the ground connection has oxidized.

I have seen similar things when radios try to draw higher current, and
the voltage drops to below threshold voltage for the radio, causing the
processor to restart..
