In later models of the THF6A, Kenwood added a menu item, #31, which 
turns off the charger circuit when using alkaline cells, or when 
running from a 12 volt source in a situation where you don't also want 
to charge the battery.

The reset menu #30 is the last option on the older models.

I'm not sure when that change was made, but it was on the unit which I 
bought 3 years ago, and not on the first one I bought in 2002.

    Mike:

This sounds familiar.

I'll give it a try here.

The only thing I'm not sure of is the menu number, but I think it's 
the last
one.
