Default Original Radio kills battery

I have a 3124 with the AM/FM/TV/CD/DVD installed. I was having trouble with the battery running down when the TM is in the garage. Found that the factory installed radio draws 1/4 amp when powered off. The power is used to keep the presets alive. I installed a lighted power switch next to the radio to stop the current drain. Keep that in mind with electronics in the TM.
