The radio memory only draws a tiny amount, some people hook up an

Question: If the 9-volt battery should "last a season" wouldn't there
be almost no chance that the radio memory was drawing down the primary
12-volt battery in a week?
It depends on the radio actually. I've had it happen on my Ranger
once. Internal memories can eat up a lot of power over time.
As I said, it's a simple experiment to find out.
