Let's see how to change the antenna of a Nissan Qashqai J11 to a shark fin antenna, although there is doubt that it may not receive DAB stations as well as those in FM: in fact, in Europe, DAB mainly operates in the III band (174-240 MHz), while shark fin antennas are often optimized for FM (88-108 MHz). Therefore, if the antenna has not been specifically designed for DAB, it could result in rather weak reception.

Thus, at the time of purchase, it is necessary to check its technical specifications, or if the antenna has already been installed, consider adding a DAB preamplifier.
