I just received an email from my "smoked" Pro II buddy.  He returned 
home last night, opened rig after emails, couldn't find anything 
burnt...  Cleaned out the dust and cobwebs, hooked it up, and it now works.

 From the owner:

<>I took the advice of someone and ran a relay parallel with the push to 
talk and when the radio keys it opens up the beverage and puts the 
beverage 1/R port to a 50 ohm load. I gave it a quick try and no smoke. 
I know something smoked the first time but I cant find it?   <>Pretty 
weird.  <>
I connected the beverage transformer out by the back tower where the 
cables come in it's the 180A beverage transformer and I think now with 
all the isolation I hope to be OK?

So, WE would like to thank all for the info provided here.  The rest is 
in his hands (if he goes looking for burnt parts).  He's also been 
provided with the "list info".
