Media Prima CLSB radio frequency analysis (Kool FM)

After Media Prima acquired Copyright Laureate Sdn Bhd since October 2015, I had suggested few frequencies to them when they would like to broadcast nationwide. Mainly are:

- 107.3MHz: Alor Setar Tower (Central Kedah)
- 105.7MHz: Bukit Larut (Taiping, Kuala Kangsar, Lenggong, Parit Buntar and North Perak)
- 94.9MHz: Gunung Kledang (Ipoh and South Perak)
- 102.1MHz: Gunung Telapak Burok (Negeri Sembilan) or 101.1MHz: Bukit Gan (Seremban)
- 87.6MHz: Gunung Ledang (Melaka and North Johor)
- 107.8MHz/90.9MHz/88.6MHz: Taman Sentosa (Johor Bahru)
- 103.7MHz: Bukit Pelindung (Kuantan)
- 103.6MHz: Bukit Besar (Kuala Terengganu)
- 103.7MHz: Peringat/Bukit Panau (Kota Bharu)

Among these frequencies, 4 of them are passed only, there are 105.7MHz Bkt Larut, 107.3MHz Alor Setar Tower, 102.1MHz Gn Telapak Burok and 103.7Mhz Bukit Pelindung.

Here are the results:

1. Bukit Larut

Results: OK

2. Gunung Kledang

Gn Kledang vs. Gn Brinchang= OK
Gn Kledang vs. Gn Jerai= Failed, antenna pattern and power reduction are needed.

3. Bukit Pelindung

 4. Alor Setar Tower

5. Bukit Besar

Results: NOT OK, 100kHz with Bukit Panau. The frequency of Bukit Panau need to be changed.

6. Gunung Ledang

Recommended frequency for Gunung Ledang: FM 103.9MHz

7. Bukit Panau

Results: FAILED, 50kHz with Narathiwat, Thailand. To be recommend FM 91.4MHz/91.3MHz or 93.4MHz

8. Gunung Telapak Burok

9. Bukit Gan

10. Taman Sentosa Johor Bahru

Results: 90.9MHz, 107.8MHz and 88.6MHz are failed due to interference to Singapore and Batam

Above the result of RF analysis,

1. Bukit Larut 105.7MHz: PASSED

2. Gunung Kledang 94.9MHz: FAILED, but power and antenna pattern reduction are needed

3. Alor Setar Tower 107.3MHz: PASSED

4. Bukit Pelindung 103.7MHz: PASSED

5. Gunung Ledang 87.6MHz: FAILED, To be recommended FM 103.9MHz

6. Bukit Panau 103.7MHz: FAILED, To be recommended FM 87.6/91.4/91.3/93.4MHz

7. Gunung Telapak Burok 102.1MHz: PASSED 

8. Bukit Gan 101.1MHz: PASSED

9. Bukit Besar 103.6MHz: FAILED, but Bukit Panau cannot use 103.7MHz

10. Taman Sentosa Johor Bahru 88.6/107.8/90.9MHz: FAILED

94.9MHz Gunung Kledang must reduce its power to 1kW, and the antenna pattern shall not cover Kuala Kangsar districts.
