[Shotimes] genII antenna up/down switch

[Kenneth Epperly]

Looking at the wiring diagram on the cd that John provided it looks like
wire #747 (orange/light blue) powers the antenna module. I think if that
wire is open the antenna stays down, power it and it goes up. I think I read
the colors right as the print is hard to see.
