On my '99 it's either ON+UP or OFF+DOWN. I can only assume they put a switch on the power lead for the antenna motor.
Also, I've had 3rd Gens since 2010 and just finding out there's an antenna in the back window lol.

installed an inline switch with I think the blue wire (antenna wire power), below the ignition key receptacle.
After much testing though, and years, I have disconnected the rear antenna and only left the main one connected to the aftermarket radio.
The aftermarket radio did receive better with only the main antenna connected, rear disconnected. So I have to raise it when using the radio. The stock radio is probably built differently for that.
reason for the switch is to be sure that antenna is only up when I want it up, so no badlucks like going into a car wash or whatever.
I oil the antenna yearly. Before winter, I apply oil to the mast and make it raise and go down a few times.
