Default Low Battery affect Radio performance?

2008 Street Glide / 35K Miles / pretty stock / stock radio
Stared having intermittent radio issues - cut in and out while riding
Checked for bad grounds, loose wires, corrosion on pins /etc - no help
Noticed that often the radio would work ok if the bike was off /not yet started - but would go out if I started it
Update..
Replaced the battery because it was the orig one and was cranking over a little slower and now the radio seems to be working!
Any causal relationship between these or is it just coincidental?
Can't really take it out to test - Knoxville TN, calling for a big storm and it's just over freezing right now
any thoughts or experience with this out there?





I can explain it for you - But I can't Understand it for you.

Coincidental Bro! You need your radio repaired or replaced. Your circuit board is on it's way out. If you want to keep it reach out to Iron Cross Audio. Great people to work with. If it was me I'd go aftermarket.
