There are several possibilities:

1) memory keepalive -- has to see 12v all the time or you forget your stations
2) power antenna or auxiliary amp relay driver
3) input from instrument light circuit for panel lights

You could see which one(s) get power when you turn the radio on, then try
feeding power to the ones that don't...
