after many months of trying different things to recieve a great dab signal i finally came up with the answer.
As you people will know who have a dab radio, they dont work just as good as you would imagine, well they do work excellent if you live in an area that has very good reception but if not you get the sound breakup and popping noise etc etc blah blah blah.
But, all's not lost, Hidden Content , i tried messing with the standard aerial (piece of wire) that came with my dab/amp/reciever, and it was not too bad, but it needed moving it around and all that to get best signal which to me is a pain in the arse.
so i tried buying an extended aerial, seemingly they were the way to go, so i bought one from internet a while back, wired it up, and it was just as bad as the standard aerial (piece of wire) that came with my kit, plus the fact it was longer too, so it was even harder to keep it hidden and still get a good signal.
So anyway, i was in asda a while back, and i noticed they sold an amplified aerial that done tv/dab/fm signals (10quid-ish), it does everything basically, you simply plug it into the electric socket on the wall, connect the other part to the aerial socket on your dab reciever, and you turn up the amplifier to full, then just move the telescopic ariels about a little bit till you get 100% signal, then thats it, simple as that, just leave it alone, dont touch it again and you will always have a perfect 100% dab signal, i have mines stuck under a table and the telescopic arieals are only pulled up like 12inch high and i get 100% signal on all dab stations, and before that my reception was terrible.
I just thought i would share this so that anyone having same probs as me know how to get best out of dab. (its very different to fm)
