    Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere,and I know in an ideal world you wouldn't start from here.
    I have recently purchased a Roberts portable Dab Rx and would like to connect it via an Fm Tx to the Bose in car Fm radio,not very pure I know?
    All works fine RTE and BBC Muxs in S.Down.
    I would like to improve the aerial end by connecting a decent dipole type full wave aerial,but no socket on the Roberts,just the telescopic.At this stage I don't think I would complicate things with an amp,as I have gone down that route before with an in car proper Dab car radio.
    The only connection to the radio would be via the telescopic,as I don't think getting inside its tiny case would be a good idea.
    Would be glad of any helpful suggestions.

    Seems to be an improvement on telescopic by using a Log periodic (£14),and splitting the audio out/headphone socket feed to the Fm Tx.Just left it lying in the back shelf for now.
    Bit concerned that a balun would perhaps help with impedence matching ,or am I dancing on the head of a pin?Anyway good to talk to myself.
