I want to switch out my still antenna with an automatic/power antenna, and want it to only 'go up' when the radio is on (and down when it's off)...I'm 50/50 radio/disk listner. Is that possible? Any suggestions? Tips? Links? How To's? I did a search w/google and AF but nothing that helped...
Thanks for your time!

yep, that's it ........ you run that auto-antenna wire to the antenna and the the coax cable from the antenna to the radio - that's it (and you might have to ground the antenna. That power wire should run the antenna up and down with the radio
