This item is an indoor DAB aerial - not a magic wand - and if no DAB signals are present it cannot conjure any up from out of thin air! However, it will work quite well in the medium to strong signal areas it was designed for.
The Philex 27741R is British designed and Chinese manufactured aerial which is suitable to replace some of the detachable aerials fitted to certain DAB radios via a screw-in F connector. It comes with a good metre or so of cable which is already terminated with an F connector so is ready to screw in once the original aerial is detached. It can also directly replace the wire aerials connected to some music centres featuring DAB radios.
This Philex has a heavy base which the aerial rod screws onto, and can be moved around easily to find the best reception spot in the room - without having to balance the whole radio in an awkward position! Windows sills and higher shelves are good places to try first. The aerial is quite compact and once in position is fairly unobtrusive. I am using this with a Denon S52 and it works much better than the supplied T aerial, and is also much easier to find a good signal with.
DAB is already an outdated technology which has many problems, but this aerial from Philex can help you get the best out of what the service offers. It is certainly not rubbish!

I bought a Sony CMT-BX70DBi DAB Micro HiFi System with Built-In iPod Dock earlier in the year but was unable to get any DAB signal. After numerous and failed attempts I contacted Sony who basically said I would need to purchase an additional aerial.
I wasn't happy with this as I already had two other DAB radios (Pure and Goodmans), both of which functioned perfectly well using the basic aerial that was suppled but, wanting to use the DAB element of the Micro HiFi, I looked for a suitable product.
This Philex product was recommended and proved to be an excellent choice. Easy to connect and unobtrusive, it achieved what Sony alone could not.

Having recently purchased a Denon DM38 CD/Dab Unit, I found that the supplied Dab aerial gave variable results where I had the Unit located (by a very thick stone wall in a canted cupboard). In the daytime the signal was fine but during parts of the evening a digital bubbling could be heard under the audio signal.The Philex aerial was very simple to install, unscewing the existing "T" aerial cable and screwing in the F-Connector on the end of the new aerial cable was the work of 30 seconds. The aerial rod screws into the base and sits vertically with a rubberised cover on the base-plate to avoid scuffs. There's a reasonable amount of cable, but I located the aerial immediately behind the Dab Unit in the cupboard where the Unit is kept. By chance,the height of the aerial fits exactly to the top of the inside of the cupboard and is invisible from the outside. So far the aerial is performing very well with 80% signal and no distortion. I'll revisit this review after a few days experience.

This device works better (and looks better) than the standard bit of split wire that most DAB systems supply as standard. Read more

Superb
This is much smaller than it looks in the picture 45cm long with a base of 6cm diameter. The base is very heavy for its size and so will not move about unless you want it too. Read more
