Default just asking.. before i start.

Have this mobile radio i will be looking at soon
when i get it.
It works perfectly, apparently how ever, it constantly
draws 6 amps when turned off which is a lot more than it
should be drawing just for the RX mode idle state.
And no over load protection ever kicks in, in essence, it
drains the battery in the car.
My guess is, it maybe a leaky reverse diode or cap that
just isn't shorting enough to cause protection over loads
to take place.
We'll see when we get the radio on our bench.
