DAB Indoor Antenna
Connect the T-type DAB antenna to the DAB socket, extend
the lead vertically and attach it to a window frame or wall
with thumbtacks, or the like, where reception is best.
DAB Outdoor Antenna
In an area where DAB signals are weak, it will be necessary to
use an outdoor DAB antenna. There are two main types
available.
Dipole:
For use in marginal signal areas. This type of antenna is
omnidirectional 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.

It is possible to use a TV or FM antenna with your DAB tuner
as this is normally mounted externally. This may give a
stronger signal than a simple internal antenna, however it
would not be tuned specifically for DAB reception.
You would 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.
