Yet another DAB thread

[Kb36]

This has probably been asked hundreds of times, I tried searching for a solution but got bogged down.

I have an elddis 115 on a Peugeot boxer base but my dab reception is shocking, is there an easy way to improve this?

Fit a decent aerial, preferably a roof mount one and mount it on a ground plane. Expect to pay around £75 for a decent one.

I think Lenny has probably got the right answer.

Our PVC came with a dab radio installed - no idea if by Fiat or RAPIDO (the converter) - but it's got a proper aerial mounted on the cab, high above the windscreen. Radio works a treat and never get any interference on dab.

Hope you can get yours sorted.

I fitted a small pencil sized DAB aerial stuck on the windscreen.
As expected not brilliant reception but ok with a good signal.
I found fitting the internal night/sun screens improved reception markedly ?

Ours is a small whip on the roof does DAB, FM & TV with different amps works a treat, it's a Hymer standard fit.

worked for me

DAB aerial

I am going to fit a DAB cab radio aerial onto the roof of the van and as its not onto metal will use a ground plane. What is the minimum size required for this , I know the stock answer will be as large as possible but I have to be realistic.

Mine also works very well for TV and dab.

Had a screen one on my last van that came with my Clarion stereo, it worked quite well but nowhere as well as good the roof mounted one on the current van.
