We could further reduce the entire station to a single series resistance 
using Thevenin's (oddly, not called Helmholtz, or du Bois-Reymond) 
theorem, but that's on paper, and not the actual installation, or 
operating conditions.

In this case of initial trouble-shooting, we're looking for erratic, and 
variable, across numerous potential issues, over time, not total, in a 
single instance.  Also take into consideration, the voltage, kept 
constant by a decent supply, isn't the same as the current required 
through a problematic cord, to operate the device, which is known to 
change by time, conditions, and location.

We could get really deep, down to individual components, or check one 
thing, at one point, then further system checks if warranted, as we both 
described, but, the power cord/connector is still known to be likely 
bad, for the reasons described, can create the condition observed, 
apparent constant current, radio cuts out at a certain draw, and is the 
first place to look.
