This power consumption matters when you put the TM in storage (unless you disconnect the battery, or keep a 3-stage charger on the battery). And of course it matters when you are dry-camping, trying to conserve every drop of battery power.

I pull the fuse in the TM that supplies power to the radio. It appears to be a separate circuit for just the radio. Left column, second fuse from the bottom. I store it in one of the unused slots. Mine is a 2005 TM 2720. The factory nicely labeled each fuse slot.
Much easier than disconnecting the battery.
