Default 84 power antenna problems

I just had a shop install an aftermarket radio in the 84. It sounds great, but after a minute or 2 the antenna automatically goes back down. Do I need this part to fix it? http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=936533
Is there any way to fix this without buying specialty parts that might be unavailable? Thanks.

Your stereo has to supply a constant 12 volts to your antenna relay to stay in the up position. If the relays is failing or the power to it is cut off, down goes antenna. My relay is located under trim beside hatch latch. Here is some good reading i keep in my webspace.http://members.shaw.ca/dankai/Power%20Antenna.pdf
