Some DAB front ends are rather deaf.

Not so much deaf as deafened by strong adjacent channel. Local DAB txs
create a coverage hole for high powered main txs.

Incidentally I made a DAB aerial from a cheap car aerial base. Fitted a
length of steel wire intended for the Severn Bridge and trimmed it a few
mm at a time. Connected to the radio with 75 ohm TV cable. Works very well.
