Was browsing eBay and saw this thing. Convert A Tenna?

Radio input, antenna output, what is the third wire?

It looks like a tuner to convert your AM/FM antenna into a stealth CB antenna. Not as efficient, but it will do in a pinch. 3rd wire goes to the CB.

Ah - you're right! OMG I totally forgot they used to make those things!!

I actually used to own one back in the day but it looked different! Yeah that other wire would go into the antenna plug on the AM/FM stereo God, I'm getting old when I can't even identify stuff I used to own.

Just found out people still actually make and sell these on Amazon!!! Crazy.

Imagine the fun on a motorized antenna.
