You're 100% sure power's getting to the radio? I'm just making sure the fuse 
in the power cord isn't blown. Also,I don't know that radio all that well 
but is it possible you plugged the control head in to the wrong jack? Again, 
I don't have one of those radios, just making sure everything I can think of 
is checked, I have played with one a friend had mobile so I know a little 
about it. There's nothing on the display at all, or can anyone check it for 
you? That's a shame if it's brand new and not working but if it's brand new, 
maybe the store you bought it form can do an exchange. I know a friend of 
mien went through that with a radio of another manufacturer I'm not fond of 
about 15 years ago where he had problems and they exchanged it for him but 
he bought it brand new. I don't remember if you did or not.
