I remember this now, there's no switch on it because when there was a
switch on it, sometimes it blew the current limit.  Leading to the logic
that enabled the RF power amp having switched power but not the RF power
Amp itself :-|

Unfortunately it's the same setup in GTA02 A3, if that's a valid clue.
Or maybe Graeme's A3 unique point is that it has a good backup battery?

Anyway the main battery + pin shows no signs of any dents or load and
sits there at about 0.4V itself before during and after the fun on Vsys.
~ I don't think this can be it.
