Unfortunately, for some reason, it is not instructing the antenna to retract when the ignition is switched off (even though there is constant power to the antenna). I need to get out there tomorrow and see if I can get things working. >Yaofeng -- Inky >yada_yada_etcnopsamail.com (Inky) wrote in message news:<3bd77167.28043544nopsam.CIS.DFN.DE>... >> On 23 Oct 2001 06:03:39 -0700, ychennopsam30.net (Yaofeng) wrote: >> >> >yada_yada_etcnopsamail.com (Inky) wrote in message news:<3bd4f281.16615195nopsam.CIS.DFN.DE>... >> >> On Sun, 21 Oct 2001 21:44:09 -0400, Kyle <KyleJKnopsamero.net> wrote: >> >> >> >> >Inky wrote: >> >> >> >> >> >> The radio isn't original.
