DC-6 radios

I’m just learning this aircraft atm but have done a successful flight from KPDX to KSFO. Discovered how quickly you can learn while in flight! However…

It may be something that I can sort out but, while taxiing at KSFO, each time I put the throttles to idle, the radios switch off. As I increase the throttles the radios come on. All systems are on so it don’t seem to make sense. Bit disconcerting when you turn off the runway and need to speak to ‘ground’ but discover you have no radio.

hmmm

Battery switch? Looks like generator power only.
