We have a couple of DAB radio alarm clocks. One of them will find and

get a reliable signal despite being just the other side of the bed. Both
have lengths of thin wire for aerials.


Ours sort of work provided that it isn't raining but they dissolve into
boiling mud at the least provocation. If they have external antenna
sockets you can plug a better aerial in but even then it is crap.

DAB is dire when played back through a decent hifi even with good
signal. Internet, TDTV, Freesat and even FM leave all it for dust.

So how come it works in cars?
