Best DAB aerial available

John Armstrong · 21st November 2016, 16:52

Can anyone advise please? - What is the best DAB aerial for the Navall Star. I already have a front windscreen one which is useless. Any suggestions would be most welcome and thanks

I had one of the useless Sony window aerials in my windscreen to match the stereo, got so fed up with it but wasn't about to pay £60 to £90 for one and the put holes in my roof.

The alternative was get a small magnetic DAB aerial from Halfrauds, cost £17.99. Honestly not perfect still loses out in really bad areas but very pleased with it for the price and no holes in my roof

The ones that Radioguy sells are up there with the best aerials, especially the roof one.
If you have a saloon it is really easy to drill a hole, it`s almost measured for you.

There is the "stick on" and the "through the glass"
It looks like confusion maybe

The Celsus through glass (no drilling required) DAB aerial Sean sells works well in areas of bad signal reception

Not the through glass mount aerial on your roof Ken

You've got the roof mounted Celsus whip aerial
