To test if my antenna is working can i hook up any 12v lead from car to the antenna lead? for instance can i take the accessory lead and hook it to my antenna. I know that means whenever the car is on my antenna will be up. But then cant i put a inline switch to control it? thanks

To answer your original question, yes you can jump 12 volts to your power antenna to test it for proper operation.

A simple meter can be purchased at RadioShack for around $20.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.
