I've just taken delivery of a DAB radio for the kitchen and it has come with a wire antenna. I'm struggling to find a way to run the aerial without it looking unsightly.

I'm convinced that there is a simple solution but I can't for the life of me figure it out!

Any tips?

Dab aerials are aligned vertically.

If you charge 4G phones on the same socket or very nearby they may wipe out the DAB

Does it work/get reception ok if you run it along side the power lead? If so just cable tie or tape it to the power lead.

Really depends where the radio is to be sited.

Colour it the same as the nearest wall, run it up the nearest corner/grout line and put a dab of glue/tape at the top.

Run it as high up as it will go. IME/location, DAB reception is rubbish.
