However if you wish to make your own mount the very same aerial whip can be found here complete with 1330mm low loss cable to DIN plug.
Still showing supplies £38.35 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HIRSCHMANN-HIT-A...rmvSB=true I am sure it would be easy to make a mount yourself For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at.. http://www.youtube.com/user/conwy1 |

Wow, £90 for an antenna...
Talking about a budget antenna... Some months ago I bought this one for under € 10. 
Black fiberglass and fits very well in de hole of standard LR antenna. Length 90 cm. Very good reception too.

90 Euros (not pounds but still pricey, admittedly).
I've tried various cheaper options last time mine was vandalised and was never happy. I know Hirschmann are a damned good make so am crossing my fingers. On another note, wifey's 1974 Käfer has a windscreen antenna/amp that can pick up a signal from Voyager. Never been able to find one as good though and there's no manufacturer's mark  Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

Please give any feed back on ariel. I've got the Entreq one on mine, and I'm not impressed.

Seems the same Hirschmann antenna as already long time available from Entreq. So there is choice.

Sorry Munch90 I've only just caught up with this thread. Yes it is angled and doesn't work too badly....

Well it still works after a few months and it's survived some scratchy greenlaning that claimed the top of my RAI

So are they the same item? If so they don't work as well as good the original ariel or as good as a 3' CB whip. They don't break and look good, just the reception is not as good. Andy |

See no difference. Compare on both sites, just the base is slightly different, and the price.... Some here have the Entreq antenna installed, so they can comment on quality of reception.
In my case, my standard antenna gives excellent reception, and added advantage is that I can retract it, so catching less wind, which is more fuel economy.  Now, where is Caterham when you need him? You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

On my 90 I have one that looks similar to JWLs. I got it from http://www.dabonwheels.co.uk a few years ago when I upgraded my head unit to a DAB ready one. It was about £60 I think, and has a splinter so you can connect to your radio for AM/FM and DAB on separate wires. Reception is good, everything I need anyway.
With the recent release on more DAB frequencies there are now loads of DAB stations (local and national) and the quality is superb. If I were in the market for a new aerial now, but hadn't yet got an actual DAB unit, I would still get dual aerial as "future proofing" Our blog - http://landytravels.com/ Yorkshire Off Road Club - http://www.yorkshireoffroadclub.net |

Great site
I especially love the way they describe the compatibility of sone of the adapters as "totally/somewhat unpredictable"
Such honesty is rare these days  Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |
