Actually RTM Negeri FM Bukit Tampin 95.7MHz operates at low power about 0.1kW and it can be only received in Tampin, Pulau Sebang and Kota. The rest of areas like Masjid Tanah, Malacca Town and Rembau will interfere with FLY FM 95.8MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali.
On 5 December 2009, I had a trip in Melaka with my family. I went to scan the reception of Negeri FM at A' Famosa in Alor Gajah, the reception of Negeri FM 95.7MHz and 107.7MHz were very clear. In Melaka town, 107.7MHz and 92.6MHz were clearer than 95.7MHz.
Then, on July 2011, I was selected for taking part in PLKN (aka National Service), PLKN placed me for National Service at Kem PLKN Titian Bintangor at 1st batch. At the same time, I took the opportunity to do my FM DXing activities there. During January till March 2012, I scanned several radio station in Rembau areas.
In PLKN Titian Bintangor Rembau, Negeri FM was clear on 107.7MHz and 95.7MHz, but 92.6MHz from Gunung Telapa Burok was not so clear. (Scanned in my dorm AL4).. The other RTM regional radio stations like Melaka FM 102.3MHz and Johor FM 105.3MHz were receivable there, both of them are transmitted from Gunung Ledang. Melaka FM 102.3MHz was very clear there, but Johor FM 105.3MHz was not clear there because co-channel interference with Suria FM 105.3MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali.
Negeri FM 95.7MHz from Bukit Tampin had interference with Fly FM 95.8MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali in certain areas of Rembau. In addition, 95.7MHz is only clear in Tampin.
Overall analysis, Negeri FM 107.7MHz from Gunung Ledang is more stable than 95.7MHz Bukit Tampin.
During Hari Raya on 17 July 2015, when I was going back from Bakri to Serdang, I chose to listen Negeri FM 107.7MHz on highway in Melaka till Senawang. I received Negeri FM 107.7MHz in my car clearly when driving at the highway in Rembau, Pedas, Linggi, Simpang Ampat/Tampin, even could listen up to the location between Senawang and Pedas/Linggi toll, meanwhile 95.7MHz became Fly FM 95.8MHz in Hentian Pedas/Linggi. Negeri FM 92.6MHz and 107.7MHz are receivable in Rembau, but 95.7MHz is not stable. In Rembau and Tampin, Negeri FM 107.7MHz showed its RDS text without stopping (NEGERI, FM INGAT, SAMPAI BILA)..
According to RTM, Asyik FM 95.6MHz from Gunung Ledang main coverages are in Chaah, Labis, and Segamat only, they have not planned to expand coverage to Melaka and Negeri Sembilan yet. Asyik FM 95.6MHz from Gunung Ledang is not clear in Muar, and Bakri. During FM DXing in Bakri, my phone radio could receive Negeri FM 95.7MHz from Tampin, but weaker reception.
In my opinion, RTM should abolish Negeri FM Bukit Tampin transmitter 95.7MHz to give way to Asyik FM, perhaps Rembau and Tampin can receive 107.7MHz clearly. So that, Asyik FM can be received clearly in Melaka, Negeri Sembilan and Johor clearly on 95.6MHz from Gunung Ledang.
