With pic power off, the RC buttons are seemingly connected to each other from inside the pic. Are the pins internally connected at power off and can I avoid this?

The input pins would be likely to have a diode each connected to the power pin as a safety for the inputs. Does this idea match what you're seeing?

With no voltage on the power pin, the diodes will only cause 5 or 6 tenths of a volt difference.

Thanks AAC When one RC button is pressed (providing an earth) then other functions are initiated, which means a common earth is provided from the pic pins.
