Post CB radio current draw

Hello,

I have had a long term battery draw on my truck for a few months. I finally got around to figuring it out today after my new Optimas were almost dead.

I did the obvious troubleshooting and found that my CB radio, less than 2 years old, was drawing current while turned off. I heard the speaker sqwak when I rubbed the power wire across the positive post of the battery.

The question is, can this radio be repaired by a CB shop?

It is an excellent radio, having been peaked and tuned when I bought it.

Thanks,

Bill
