That sounds like a job for "Mr. Breakout Box". The box has banana jack 
for each wire, toggle switch for a AUX PTT, and a male and female 
connector. And a diagram for the "standard" wiring config. The banana 
jacks allow you to patch across each wire.  Another name for the box is 
" What If". Only problem is if the box doesn't work then you need 
another break out box to trouble shoot it.  :-)

The Local/Remote switch on the AM is set to REMOTE.  The LS is able to turn the RT on and off so I believe the local/remote switch is set correctly. The RT is installed in the bottom bay of the AM (Position A)

Many diagrams show this jumper, but I thought this was to provide audio to the handset when connected to the AUD/DATA on the AM.
