Before switch installation, the antenna was always up whenever the
console had power applied. The only way to get the antenna down
was to turn off the console. It doesn't matter if you are listening
to CDs, tape, or radio.
After switch installation, You can bring the antenna down by
"engaging" the antenna down switch, which probably just opens
the circuit.
One disappointment, you can't partially extend the antenna,
it's up whenever it gets 12V, and down when it doesn't.
I noticed my reception in the city is as good as it gets after
the first 6 inches or so is extended, but there's no way to
freeze it there.
