Dunno.

Maplin have an "external DAB active aerial" for sale at the moment for
£30. It looked neat and claimed 23dB gain so it would have been
appropriate for my location where a 7dB gain array provides good
reception.

The sales assistant said to me "You know this doesn't qualify for our 14
day money back warranty?"

"Oh, why is that?"

"Well, basically they don't work."

Heh heh. That's what I quite like about Maplin - they do have some
characters working for them. Even some pretty knowledgeable ones -
although you can't guarantee it.

I must admit to paying out serious money for an active DAB aerial for the
car - which transformed the reception. It's now much better than FM
around London.
