The Dogmother Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 My 25 year old stereo has finally given up the ghost, and I am looking to replace it with a new mini version which will play DAB radio, CDs and connect an MP3 player. The model which I like does all these, but when I tried the DAB radio option in store, it didn't pick up any stations, which isn't surprising in a large shop. I have since read several online reviews for the product and one of them mentioned that DAB reception was very poor for them. Now I noticed that it didn't have an extending aerial like the DAB radio we have at home, but an 'out' socket that just looked like a bolt on the side of the unit. I intend going back to the store to ask if an assistant would accompany me outside to test the signal (fat chance I suspect), but does anyone know whether it is possible to get a small aerial to attach to this 'bolt', or am I onto a loser here?

Geoid Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Yes you can, I think they use the same socket as a TV areial. You could try and see if it fits. But, you should be able to buy a small areial for it, you just need to find out what socket it takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Thanks Fred, we have a Maplins, so I will have a look. I have a TV aerial and FM Aerial point already, but really just want a small extending one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
