Default DAB aerial types (glass mount, internal, panel mount, etc)

My experience of an internally mounted DAB aerial (with a REVO DAB unit)
wasn't good, but this was complicated by the fact that my car has a
heat-reflecting windscreen so the aerial had to go in the front quarter
light area which might have adversely affected it's performance. I drive all
over the country with work and many areas suffered major drop outs for long
distances.

I self-installed a glass-mounted antenna (easier to do than I expected) and
I get almost NO signal issues any more - a HUGE difference and I can't
remember the last time I lost the DAB signal.


Thanks for that, I think I'll try an external glass mount then. What
length is the antenna on yours, 44cm or thereabouts?

Cheers
