Thanks for the replies, now to fix it. Angelo,I could use your write-up, sent you email. Anyone recommend parts sources for the mast? Factory or aftermarket? Now the antenna sticks up 6" when off and lays on the roof line when on. No radio till fixed.At least I don't have to listen to campaign ads!Thanks again. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />
