Most likely the radio is just responding to the voltage drop of the battery
while cranking the engine. If it is a good, high power radio and you just
hooked it up to the original wiring it is not adequate anyway.

Subject: '90 Carat - Radio turns off and back on when starting the van

Hey gang. The radio in Grover has started turning off and then back on if it
is on when I start the bus up. Now everything seems to be working fine but
this is new behavior. Is this a sign of pending electrical doom? I'm not
sure what to make of it.

Any and all advice is appreciated and I thank you in advance.
