Why on earth did they decide on the F-type connector for DAB aerials,

good connection why didn't they go for BNC?

My ( now discarded) DAB tuner had BNC.

You jest? Fitting a screw on F-type couldn't be simpler. BNCs require
the
correct crimping tool. They're also several times the price.

Show me some F connectors at a fraction of 16 pence please. :-) The
only place I find cheap F connectors is on the road after a Sky van has
paid a visit.

eg.

pence.
