Joel -
You're probably right - I hope you are. But my Jensen radio measures an incredible half amp when powered down, even with the glowing faceplate removed - just to maintain the station memory. I uncovered this issue the hard way ... hopefully the manufacturers have taken note of the problem since then, and helped us out. As I recall, one of our members (Mike Laupp?) rewired his radio power supply to eliminate this drain.
Good call on the breakaway power hookup. I'm often the one that does the reminding, but I spaced it entirely tonight. Thanks for catching it.
Bill
