why won't my aftermarket radio work?

[soopsoop]

i hooked everything up like i was suppose to, except the wire for the power antenna, why did they call it that? should have been called antenna amp wire it would have made it a lot easier to figure out. any way hooked that wire bto the 12v switched wire and i get lots of stations now thank God for usmb i read through the different topics and found others with the same problem.

soopsoop,

 

They called it the power antenna wire because on the generations of subies that ran power antennas, it was needed to raise and lower them. My 1997 OBW, LTD, for instance, had a power antenna from the factory.
