Hello, sorry if this is the wrong forum to ask in, my question is related to FM/DAB+ radio rather than scanning, but I figured the people here are all radio tech savvy
I'm doing a project car, and I've decided to ditch the factory AM/FM antenna and head unit, for a FM/DAB+ head unit, and I want to replace the factory up/down electric aerial before it fails.
I'm looking at using a ZCG SM39:

It says it covers 40MHz to 950MHz, which would cover FM and DAB+, convenient!
The only problem is that these new DAB+ head units have a separate aerial port for DAB+, and one for AM/FM.
Is it possible to get a "double adaptor" type connector so I can run just the one aerial to both ports of the head unit?
Or do I just buy two of them and have two aerials, one on each front quarter panel?
I'm also after a UHF aerial as well, have to be boot mounted I think:

I like the look of this one
Any suggestions?
Thanks much.

Re: ZCG SM39 as FM/DAB+ antenna
GDAY DAB is around 200Mhz In Melborne its multiplexed on TV Channel 9s frequency, I am not sure if its vertical or Horizontal polarisation Prob Vert Thats why theres a seperate port as it it is 100Mhz away If you are not tech savvy, just buy a seperate antenna for dab , if you are just cut a quarter wave or something similar and mount it If you near the TV transmitters 50Km Bazinga It will work a note too broad banded antennas can be a compromise. even some of the best manufacturers get it wrong
