I'm not sure what you mean here. Generators do not put out much at idle, but the battery should carry the system while you're idling. The exception here is if you idle around for 20 minutes or so with the landing light on. That will overtax the system. Sounds like you are running with the generator and no battery, as would be the case if the solenoid quit. I would not use a radio under these circumstances. The lack of voltage stability may ruin the radio. For that matter, I would not use the electrical system at all if the battery is not in the circuit.
