Kenwood 790/890 help

[own1bigtruck]

So in original configuration I had a 690/790 dual banded with a remote head. I was changing the configuration to a 790/890 configuration and now the head wont power up. The 890 was originally set as radio 2 of a 690/890 setup. When I swap the 690 back in, everything works as advertised. Put the 790 back with the 890 and the head wont power up, however, there is a click in the relay in the dual band where the remote head cable goes into the radio. My question is, since both the 790 and the 890 were configured originally as radio 2, does the jumpers need to be put back in place on the 790 in factory configuration to make this work? Service manual says "do nothing" for radio 1, but it doesn't say anything in there about re configuring a radio from 2 back to 1.

Common sense applies here.

If you did nothing to radio 2, then it still thinks it's radio two physically. You will need to undo the mod to radio 2, and make it act like radio 1 again.
