Found this what appears to be some kind of powered antennae.It has a coax connection from it and a plugin for an ac adapter.There is a power light in the front with an adjustment that indicates - or +.

It is a TV antenna. I have the exact same one. If I remember correctly it makes a good FM antenna.

It is an AM/FM antenna. I found referrence to this antenna on the internet, but I didn't find any technical specifications or how well it works.

I tried as an fm antennae and I got some kind of buzzing.This was about six months ago so I don't remember that well.It has been put away since then.I will try on a different receiver.My next question.Why the power supply? is it supposed to make it stronger?I rember doing a web search back then and finding nothing.

It is a Terk...I bought one just like it for my Carver TX-11 FM tuner back in '86 or so and it picked up quite a few stations. I didn't keep it for very long, though, when I lost interest in radio and stopped listening altogether, and gave it to my kid brother.

It´s an amplified antenna, hence the power supply. The levell of amplification can be adjusted, too.

I've used these before. You should get really good FM reception with it if it works properly.
