I'm assuming you meant the LDG control was connected to the 7610 but the RF went 7610 to PW1 to LDG. It sounds like the PW1 came up at high power, the LDG tried to tune and thus the smoke. I recall some changes to the LDG tuners that disabled the tuning in some modes but not others. IF you had the LDG in auto-tune mode it tuned when it saw power application. Not a good thing.....
Just speculating here.....

Yes, I know better than to tune a tuner into a tuner.
I have a 200ish feet random wire for generic multi-band use. The tuner in the radio or PW1 won't cut it on this antenna on some bands.
I thought I could leave the LDG (1000ProII) attached to the 7610 for that, bypass LDG with it's front panel control when not wanted. Turn off PW1 tuner when LDG used.
With the PW1 tuner turned off, I actuated the 7610 tuner button to initiate tuning the LDG.
POOF! Yup, the LDG runs on smoke. This tuning request was performed via the iPad SDR remote app, so I didn't get to watch the system in person.
What crazy simple thing(s) am I not understanding, please?
NOT blaming LDG - have 3 and luv em.
