Since I use a sat radio, is there a way to easily turn off the antenna?

If you do a search through google you will find some have installed switches to turn on and off the power antennas.

On my Z06 I removed the antenna and filled the hole. I took the stock antenna and turned the antenna mount 90 degrees inside the rear bumper so it would still work. The reception is fine when you use the regular radio. The back of the car looks better with the antenna eliminated.
