Out of interest, what sort of cable was it? Coax? Straight forward
bit-o-copper?
It was thin screened cable, not coax as I know it. I actually replaced
it with something vaguely similar from the shed. It had to be quite
flexible to allow the works of the radio to be taken in and out of the
box.

Sounds like the stuff commonly found inside WiFi boxes; these normally
have a board with the transmitter/receiver attached to the antenna with
a short length of this stuff. Pretty stiff and inflexible but I've yet
to come across one that was broken. I have a couple spare because I
replace the "fixed" antenna on mine with a suitable screw terminal as
the ADSL router is in the worst possible place for WiFi coverage. I
then have some good coax to a remotely placed antenna. The antenna is
only about 9 feet away but this makes the difference between OK coverage
and no coverage in most of my house.

Bit suspect that. Wifi is 2.4GHz, DAB is a couple of hundred MHz

Dab should go down TV coax OK but wifi wont.
