it a slight push down and it catches and retracts. I just make sure to not fully
extend it by a a couple of inches. Also, mine is a replacement I sourced in the
80s because someone broke off the mast when I didn't retract it in a city
parking lot I used for work in Pittsburgh at the time. Back then replacements
were easy to find and were close to stock. Now, not so much.
This is good to know! I'm used to the FC, which controls antenna with the radio. I'd assumed the antenna up/down switch was kind of like the headlight up/down switch - redundant. I still have the stock radio as well and I've been wanting to try out this Bluetooth cassette thing I got for Christmas.
