In the installers defense, there is nothing wrong with powering a radio directly from the battery, in fact some manufacturers recommend it. It should, however, have a fuse in line near the + terminal.
This just means that unless the radio has a seperate lead for ignition sense, which some do, you will have to remember to turn it off.
If you suspect the CB is draining the battery, pull the fuse that the installer should have installed near the battery + terminal and find out.
Good luck.
