Will a bee sting make any difference to the VX DAB factory fit CD sommat or other or will recetion be the same?

Whats the difference and benefit of getting the brass one?

Any pics of this fitted to a facelift

i'm led to believe that it won't affect your reception at all and didn't in mt last vec

bee sting aerials are shorter and therefore produce a weaker pick up in relation to reception

if you live in a high transmission area it wont be a problem

if you live in the sticks like me - there about as much use as a chocolate fireguard

i have to agree ive bought various looking aerials and they are all crap!!!!! stick to standard and u wont go wrong picking up all the stations in your area!!!!

I was alway led to believe the ariels are separate on a dab radio to the normal one, so can't see a problem??

What else can I do to add a bit of chrome to my roof ariel wise without losing strength.
It wouldnt bother me in the area I live but on the occasions I travel I dont want the loss
