Doug, others ...

If you -do- have a situation where the audio IC is looking
into a shorted load and still working ... remember, mine
and another ran for months before the audio IC failed.

With your radio turned on, remove the top cover and look 
inside at the extreme left top corner of the board closest 
to the shield.  Note if there is discoloration of the edge of 
the board above the large IC and / or stick your finger in 
and touch the IC.  Sniff the area for the tell-tale smell of
hot glass epoxy circuit board.  If it is like mine you'll test 
your reaction time, as the IC will most likely be far too hot 
to touch.
