Outdoor antenna
In an area where DAB signals are weak, use an outdoor DAB antenna.
There are two main types of antennas available.
Multi-element
Dipole
Dipole
For use in marginal signal areas. This type of antenna is omnidirec-
tional and should increase the strength of all DAB stations being
received.
Multi-element antenna
Also for use in marginal or poor signal areas. This type of antenna is
directional and has high gain. This antenna needs to be pointed at
the transmitter you want to listen to.
o
It is possible to use a TV or FM antenna with your DAB tuner as
this is normally mounted externally. Although this may give a
stronger signal than a simple internal antenna, it is not tuned
specifically for DAB reception.
You need to change the plug on your TV/FM antenna to an F
type, and it may also be necessary to use a signal booster to
enhance the signal.
