Re: radio relay

[Joe Elliott <jee@domain.elided>]

About a year ago I got worried about all the current going through my 
ignition switch, and put a relay on my radio, assuming that 6 
speakers and a tape deck motor were drawing a lot of current. 
Recently, when I happened to be poking around the fusebox with an 
ammeter anyway, I measured the draw on the circuit I have the radio 
on, and found it to be totally negligible.  So I'd have to agree with 
Tony that a radio relay and the ~$2 I spent on one are completely 
useless.
