Ok, Here is what I have done based on everyones input so far.
Powered up radio and left it for 5 min to see if it just has a weak disply on control head, White buttons are illuminated, but no display,
I also tried power up with the main power lead ( thick red one ) disconected, no errors on control ...

Thanks will give it a try

Will hook it up to my Bird meter and see if it is putting anything out,
It does not have a DB25 connector on it, it has a plug for the control head and a connector to the
radio.
I do have a Extra cable that came with this radio, it has the Syntor connector on
one end and several connectors on the ...

So true, Never saw it!
but when you move it, IT WORKS! kind of.
All wires hooked up, and Turned on, I get lights on the control

Thanks all for the quick reply, I was wondering what the fused green and orange wires were for, they were wrapped up all nice and neet and tied off with a zip tie, and not wanting to start hooking things up randomly I neglected to hook thoose 2 wire up. Thanks again, and will let you know if it works!
