The fix cost $18. It's a new mast with a trailing bylon string with teeth. Either search the archive using keyword "antenna mast" or there is FAQ somewhere on the board. It is quite simple.
Remove top nut on mast holder.
Remove old mast.
Turn radio on.
Extend new mast.
Feed extended new mast in the mast holder.
Turn radio off to let the mast retract. Make sure string engages.
Tighten nut. Done.
It works unless you have a broken string inside the gear housing, in which case the motor and gear housing has to be removed and opened up. No big deal either. Good time to thoroughly lubricate the unit.
