Thanks Don, I decided to take a look again at the inside of the radio.
Re-seated all the cards and then took the bottom off. Guess what, that
single cable that attaches to the bottom of the board was disconnected,
probably from when I was putting the filter in.  I connected that up and
all is right with the world again.

Thanks for all the help and always remember to check that cable on the
bottom of the radio :)
