Question about antenna holder...
Is there any kind of screw on cap available to cover the antenna base
when the antenna is not being used? I rarely, if ever, use the radio and
would like to keep the antenna base covered, if possible. I actually
would prefer to remove the antenna base altogether, but I'm sure doing
so is more trouble than it's worth. Thanks.

Good question; I have been wondering the same thing. I can actually pick up radio signals without the antenna when I am in the local area.
It would be great to just leave the antenna off the car.

I never had my antenna attach, since I got my car, its ugly. Lately I been thinking about taking a dremel and just cut off the threads. But I might try, a vaccum cap, or accorn nut see what it look like.
