Jeff, I believe the antenna assembly needs a ground, source of constant battery, and then to raise it, a source of switched 12V provided by the radio's on/off switch. Lowering it happens when that source is removed by switching the radio off.

The most common defect in the antenna is a broken or stripped nylon cable, which is separately replaceable - comes with the mast. I did this once, but it was about 10 years ago, and failed to do any photography.
