Well so much for your antenna tuning procedure.  Just kidding, hope it 
isn't fried.

Before putting it in the box,I'd spend a day head scratching and  trying 
to work through it systematically.    We always think the worst and 
sometimes it is just pilot error.

  Was it actually in TX when it failed?  Did you smell or hear  anything 
odd?   Does the rig have a reset?    Have you tried going into a  dummy 
load with a known good coax?

I'm not suggesting you don't know what you are doing, I just know from 
my own experiences  that  sometimes I'm ready to plan the funeral when 
the patient isn't really dead.

Good luck, Steve KW3A
