You know the radio doesn't control the antenna right? You have to raise/lower
it by using the switch in the console. I leave mine up most of the time so I can
listen to the radio (stock Clarion). It does get stuck up but I just have to give
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.
