DAB radio question

[Bryn]

Thanks for all the input chaps

I've formulated a cunning plan before I resort to the purchase of a Pure Highway.....

Found a two way input jack splitter lead for £1.49 on ebay, and a screen mount Pure Highway Aerial for just over £12 delivered...

Going to plumb them in to the Asda DAB radio to see if the signal is improved... Hoping thebatteries last at least a few hours.....

If not the DAB Aerial will still be used with a Pure Highway.

Watch this space

I use the DAB pure, when the power cable broke I ran it on batteries for a while.

It would eat 2 pairs a week on my 30 miles per day commute.

to mount the external antenna get a 22mm plastic pipe clip as used in plumbing and araldite a penny washer to it, it clips on to the handle bars by the clutch fluid reservoir just fine then bingo you have a perfect mount for the antenna

Thanks .. Good idea re mounting Won't work with the windscreen mount aerial though... I'm giving that one a go first

Hi Bryn,
I've been using the pure highway for around 4 years on bikes now.
Forget the stick on aerial as I didn't rate it,I got an external one from dabonwheels,if your going into an autocom you my need a inline volume control as you cannot adjust the volume of the pure when it is bike powered.
If you power via batteries I think it gets it reception via the headphone out only,which is useless.
My dab is connected into a power source on the bike and the aerial is mounted by the number plate,with the headphone out going directly into the autocom via the inline volume control.

Thanks Mick

I'm going to try the splitter with the stick on aerial with the Asda DAB radio I already have, before deciding if I need to upgrade ( the ASDA one is battery only.... I'll see how it goes . Splitter got delivered today, still waiting for the Aerial
