Message	I've searched and found a great article on this, also have the FSM, but it doesn't fix my prob. My new mast stops just shy of complete retraction just like the old one. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it several times and it still hangs out several inches. I'm almost tempted to shorten the length on the cable to see what happens. It is as if the clutch inside the motor (disassembled this too) is engaging too soon. My guess is increased resistance on the last few inches of travel, but for the life of me I cannot see why. There is lube everywhere and no real grit in there... anyone had the same situation? leaning towards total antenna replacement, motor and all... thanks for any input! Regards Sweep
