Red FM frequencies in Negeri Sembilan



Originally, Red FM broadcasted in Gunung Telapak Burok on FM 106.0MHz for Negeri Sembilan. In June 2009, because of Gunung Telapak Burok tower power supply was limited, Red FM was forced to close down its Negeri Sembilan frequency FM 106.0MHz. In addition, Negeri Sembilan is not really important location to Red FM, perhaps listeners in Negeri Sembilan can tune to alternative frequency although without 106.0MHz.

For Seremban, Red FM can be listened via FM 104.9MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali, meanwhile rest of areas are FM 98.9MHz from Gunung Ledang.

FM 103.3MHz is Minnal FM in most of Negeri Sembilan areas, rather than Era FM.

Minnal FM Gunung Ledang 103.3MHz is mainly for Melaka, North Johor and Tampin Negeri Sembilan, but 103.3MHz Gunung Ledang also can be received in most of Negeri Sembilan areas like Rembau, Kuala Pilah, Jempol, and parts of Jelebu.

Era FM Gunung Ulu Kali 103.3MHz is mainly for Klang Valley, South Perak and West Pahang. It only still can be received in Nilai, Mantin and Lenggeng only.

Co-channel interference occurs in Seremban, Port Dickson and Kuala Klawang.

Era FM in Negeri Sembilan: 103.6MHz
Minnal FM in Negeri Sembilan: 90.5MHz
Transmitting sites: Gunung Telapak Burok

==FM 103.3MHz in Negeri Sembilan==

RF analysis: FM 103.1MHz Lower Jerai vs. FM 103.1MHz Alor Setar Tower (BFM)



==Parameters==
Frequency: FM 103.1MHz
Power: 0.5kW
Transmitting location: Lower Jerai/Alor Setar

==Stations involved RF analysis==
1. Perlis FM 102.9MHz Padang Pauh
2. Ikim FM 102.9MHz Bukit Penara
3. Thailand Parliament Radio 103.25MHz Songkhla
4. Radio Klasik Bukit Larut 103.3MHz

==RF analysis 103.1MHz Lower Jerai==

1. VS Ikim FM Bukit Penara 102.9MHz
Separation: 200kHz
Critical level: LOW
Antenna direction of 103.1MHz: North

2. VS Perlis FM Padang Pauh

Separation: 200kHz
Critical level: Medium

3. VS Thailand Parliament Radio Songkhla 103.25MHz
Antenna direction: South
Spacing: 150kHz
Critical level: Low
Antenna direction: North
Spacing: 150kHz
Critical level: High

==RF Analysis 103.1MHz Alor Setar Tower==

1. VS 102.9MHz Bukit Penara & Padang Pauh


Both separation are 200kHz, no critical issue is detected.

2. VS. Songkhla 103.25MHz


Frequency separation is 150kHz, low critical level.

In conclusion, 103.1MHz located in Alor Setar Tower is safer than Lower Jerai because Lower Jerai can interfere 102.9MHz and 103.25MHz.
