dabonwheels Guaranteed Minimum Reception Rating (with suitable radio) Four and a half Star. Good. Excellent reception within the official coverage areas. Some useful fringe area reception.
These aerials are supplied but not manufactured by Hirschmann. Some retailers are selling them as the real McCoy - please do not confuse the two - see here
Advantages: Roof mount, passive (unamplified) DAB, amplified FM/AM car aerial. Stubby design. Mast easily unscrews for carwash, etc. Can also be fitted to wing, boot lid etc. (at slight expense of performance) If your vehicle currently has a built-in-the glass or similar FM/AM aerial, installing the 'DAB/FM/AM kit' variant will probably improve your FM/AM reception as well.
Cautions: UNSUITABLE for replacement of bee-sting aerials incorporating GSM, GPS or rear-screen washer jet (some Vauxhalls etc). Must not be mounted on a surface whose underside is exposed to the elements. These aerials are supplied but not manufactured by Hirschmann. Some retailers are selling them as the real McCoy - please do not confuse the two - see here
