theres another thread about the antennas. If the antenna is getting stuck, it can either be A-the teeth on the mast are worn out. B-The antenna is bent and the motor is not able to retract it (it doesnt take the a big bend for this to happen) I had problem B with mine, and I ended up just leaving the antenna all the way up and disconecting the motor. It's true. you dont have to replace the whole thing. You may just need to replace the mast itself. You can get them online for around 50 bucks. If you search hard you may find cheaper. I'm going to get Sat radio soon, so I didnt bother trying to fix the antenna. It will stay down or be shaved off when I get the sat radio hooked up.
