We were inbound to DAY; the ATIS was visibility 10 miles 700 broken 11;000 feet overcast ILS 6L and RNAV 6R. 6R was closer to the FBO; so we briefed the RNAV 6R.Columbus Approach was talking to several aircraft landing at different airports; we heard a partially blocked transmission of weather.we didn't have time to clarify what airport the weather was for; but the minimums for RNAV 6R is 1 mile so we knew we were alright to continue the approach.MDA for us is 1;520 feet. As we were passing through 1;700 feet to level at 1;600 feet the controller gave us a low altitude alert. I'm not sure why we got the alert we were more than 100 feet. above minimums andwe had a shallow descent rate.In the future in a situation like this I will just do the ILS.
CE-560XL Captain reported getting a low altitude alert warning from the Tower even though he felt they were on the profile with a low descent rate.
