The Fuba does have a power wire going to it.
Since my car (84 uGLI) didn't originally come with a fuba,
when I installed it, I ran a wire to my amp, and attached it to the SWITCHED 
terminal. This is the terminal that turns the amp on or off. from there, it 
goes back to the head to the POWER ANTENNA lead.

I think, if you run a wire from your power antenna lead to the fuba, you 
should be ok.

Since Im no radio guru (my cars usually are the *radio delete* model), I 
could be totally wrong!
