RTM radio station from Bukit Genting, Balik Pulau clash with radio station from Gunung Jerai, Kedah

Here is the RTM radio station from Bukit Genting, Balik Pulau that crash with radio stations from Gunung Jerai, Kedah because they're using same frequency.




.
1. Mutiara FM 90.9MHz- crashes with Mix FM 91.0MHz from Gunung Jerai, Kedah because their frequency distance is only 100kHz

2. Nasional FM 93.9MHz- co-interference with Mutiara FM 93.9 from Gunung Jerai.

Gunung Jerai can cover whole Penang, Kedah, Perlis, Langkawi, even North Perak.

These interference cause listeners in Balik Pulau can't receive Mix FM 91.0MHz from Gunung Jerai. Meanwhile, Nasional FM still can be listened on 93.9MHz because Mutiara FM 93.9MHz from Gunung Jerai used low power transmitter, which only consists 0.1kW to cover North Penang only.

Recently, I find that there has 94.1MHz in Penang, but 94.1MHz is Mutiara FM. I don't really know where does the transmitter site of 94.1MHz located in. Its reception is weak in Penang.

RTM should change Mutiara FM and Nasional FM Balik Pulau frequency to 100.7MHz and 94.1MHz respectively to prevent co-interference with other radio station from Gunung Jerai.
So, Mix FM listeners still can tune 91.0MHz in Balik Pulau without interference. Besides that, Mutiara FM can prevent interference because they has expanded their frequency distance from 100kHz to 200kHz. Each radio station with different transmitter should keep 200kHz.


In addition, RTM Nasional FM can take over Mutiara FM 94.1MHz, as Balik Pulau frequency. So that, there has no co-interference between Mutiara FM and Nasional FM.
