I think I burned up my radio. I had my setup set up ready to rock, next thing you know I start smelling something burnt from the radio. Pretty sure I just fried it. Woud it be a lost cause to rebuild the radio, or should I get a new one.

If you let the magic smoke out, you're best off getting a new one.
How did you burn it up? No antenna?

Is that a high drive amp?
If not, then IT should have been smoking if you were swinging 40watts into it.

Have you ever used the two in synch like that before without a problem?
Never had a problem with it in the past, just happened on its own. Is it possible the finals just wore out on itor something of the sorts
Like I said, if that's a low drive amp and you're swinging 40 watts into it, THAT is where your burning smell is coming from.
