  Most DAB digital radios come with an aerial, but it's wise to check before you buy.
  
  Handheld digital radios usually feature either a standard telescopic aerial or the aerial will be built-in to the headphones.
  
  In-home digital radios usually feature a telescopic or wire aerial - if you live within the coverage aera then this is usually sufficent to pick up a signal. If you are receiving a clear signal then there's no need to install an external aerial.
  
  In-car receivers usually come with a whip aerial (which is in addition to any FM/AM aerial you may need).
