Another thing to consider: the on/off button on most decks is not a hard switch
- it's a soft switch that requires a small amount of power to its own circuit to
sense the button being pressed, that COULD account for the current draw measured
on the accessory lead when off. With this particular design, if that current
wasn't being drawn from the accessory lead, it would have to be drawn from the
constant lead, and when wired up *normally* it would draw the same excessive
amount of current ALL THE TIME, most of which would be unncessary, since it
won't turn on anyway.


That's a *very* astute observation, Matt. I hadn't thought about
that--but it makes perfect sense.
