Marshall & Trampas,
Unfortunately (or fortunatley depending on your point of view) there is
no seperate rocker switch for the antenna on my 300D - it's evidently
hard-wired into the radio - unlike many MBs.... Normally, I turn the engine
off and the radio shuts down after a 5 sec pause - and the antenna starts
retracting at that time. And the reverse is true -- when I crank up - the
radio comes on with the engine and the antenna extends -
It worked fine until I noticed it yesteday - maybe it's just a coincidence
that the motor stopped working when the battery was drained?
Sincerely,
Larry T ('74 911, '67 MGB, 91 300D Turbo)

Oooooooooh, Marshall! You like living life on the edge!
If your car has a rocker switch to control antenna height, they often
come apart and lose contact inside. Pressing on the center of the switch
CAN often restore function temporarily.
