Replacement aerial on digital radio

goggler

I have an Alba digital radio that has a broken aerial (snapped in two) and now is very crackly. The can be taken out by undoing a screw, but does onyone know where i can get a new aerial to fit?

I really don't want to replace it due to both the cost and the waste, as other than the aerial it works perfectly!

It is very similar, but not identical to this model http://www.dabradio.org.uk/uploads/Image/Alba-TRDAB2830-Dab-Radio.jpg

You could put a bit of bare wire into the two parts and then tape it together.
Where it unscrews you can put any similar length arial in it's place, or even a bit of stiff wire.

Pretty std item, just need to check on end fitting
Maplins maybe , otherwise CPC

Hi thanks spakker and bob_a_builder, have popped down to Maplin and bought an aerial that appeared very similar, only fitting was to big and wobbled around. Have managed to jam it secure with a peice of the old aerial, and voila, no more crackles :j
