Default Radios won't work after battery install

Howdy folks,
I'm new to the Harley world, bought a pristine 92 Ultra Classic last week. It only had 2316 miles on the odometer and looks showroom new. The battery was a few years old so it was replaced night before last. Since then the radio and cb won't work. The radio looks likes it's on but won't change frequencies using he handlebar control and no sound from the speakers. It you turn on the cb the channel number flashes then goes out. Did I do something wrong? Or is there some secret procedure that I need to know to get these working? Thanks for your help.

Ok, my bad. I was digging around in the trunk and found the radio manual. RTFM. Found the power button lol. CB still out to lunch though. After riding Beemers for many years there's a lot to learn about Harleys.
