Stereo reception
Dave, you are referring to the remote antenna wire. It only gives a
positive pulse when the radio is turned on and off, raising and lowering the
power antenna. Most aftermarket decks will have a blue/white remote wire
and a blue antenna remote wire. The blue/white one is to turn on amplifiers
and it will show 12 volts whenever the deck is powered up.

I don't know about the power in the remote wire but shouldn't the power
disapear after a few seconds as this is for a power antenna? Or, is that a
function of the electric antenna (relay, whatever)? Just curious.
