Need help modifying timer/counter PPM code

The code in reply #10 generates PPM on the Due's D2 pin. To work with a shield I've designed, I need PPM on pin D11. Going through the (convoluted) data sheet, I've made these changes:

TC0 to TC2
PIOB to PIOD
TIOA0 to TIOA8
pin 25 to 7

The following code compiles and uploads without error. D11 goes high , but the interrupt function never runs. Can anyone figure out what I've missed?

//Modified from original for PPM output on pin D11

// timer is clocked at 42MHz, so 42 ticks per us

//See Table 37-4 (sheet 872) for PD7 (Arduino pin D11):
//Instance    Signal        I/O line    Peripheral
//TC0         TIOA0         PB25        B          (original sketch that works)
//TC2         TIOA8         PD7         B          (my sketch that doesn't work)


uint32_t periods[] = {1000 * 42, 1000 * 42, 1000 * 42, 1000 * 42, 1000 * 42, 1000 * 42, 1000 * 42, 1000 * 42, 1000 * 42};
uint32_t num_periods = 8 + 1;  // number of channels +1

int ppm_channels[8];
long Frame;
long Sum;
int val = 1;

void TC2_Handler()
{
  long dummy = REG_TC2_SR0;  // vital - reading this clears some flag, 37.7.17
  // otherwise you get infinite interrupts

  //Serial.println("interrupt");
