your radio will draw some current so that it can keep your settings.
But I'm not sure how much that would be, 1/4 amp seems like too much.
but I don't know.
where is the main +12v power wire hooked up to? did you test on that
wire or the acc. wire (aka- red or yellow)?
If its a 1/4 amp fuse, thats Ok. One should like to have less than 10-20 ma
max draw from the battery for any great length of time. Even that is hard on a
battery if it sits for a week or two. Radio settings should be in the microamp
range.
