What radios do you own?: Not enough apparently!

There's a fuse that needs to be added (or replaced if it's there but burnt out) inside the radio to get rid of ignition sense. This applies to the GM300 even though it's on the MaxTrac page: http://batlabs.com/maxrad.html#power.

As for no audio, it sounds like either the speaker's disconnected or bad.
