Aerials (continued)

DAB aerial

The Sonata DR30 has an F-type screw connection aerial for both FM and DAB signals.

Connect the supplied combined DAB/FM aerial to the socket. For continued use, we strongly recommend an external aerial. This should be a combined DAB/FM type or separate aerials diplexed onto a single co-axial cable run.
