- I am not sure if your antenna is fixed or not, but there is such a thing
- as a fixed antenna. A fixed antenna can be removed by unscrewing it at
- it's base. I have an Omni with a fixed antenna and I never take it off
- to go through a car wash. It just whips around on the car. Even if it
- broke it is cheap and easy to replace. The same can't be said about the
- other types of antenna.
