[Shotimes] Power Antenna Again

[Adam J. Green]

This new one made my Metra, has a ground. I grounded it, but i'm pretty sure
now that it is something else, because the replacement from the yard I
remember it working. The brand new one wont' work either. So, I left the new
one in, and I think i'm gonna run the darn thing straight to the head unit.
