RTM Pahang FM added new frequency on FM 102.2MHz from Fraser's Hill



On 27th October 2018, I find there was another new radio signal when I touched my radio dial on FM 102.2MHz while I'm on the way from Puchong to Bukit Jalil. The radio station which broadcast on FM 102.2MHz is in Malay language, I received this radio station was around 1845 hours, it was broadcasting religion talk show (Ceramah Agama), then after the ceramah, the Muslim's prayer Azan Maghrib was aired around 1855 hours with some echo sound. For this month, KL and Selangor Maghrib prayer was around between 1900-1905 hours, but FM 102.2MHz Azan Maghrib prayer was aired before 7pm, I believed FM 102.2MHz was belonged to RTM radio station, the reception of FM 102.2MHz was very weak in Bukit Jalil, so I did compared with existing RTM main transmitter radio station by tuning Pahang FM 107.5MHz Gunung Ulu Kali where has better reception in Bukit Jalil, I found FM 107.5MHz and FM 102.2MHz were airing same Azan around 1855 hours.

After this research, I found that FM 102.2MHz was RTM Pahang FM, but I verified that this frequency was transmitted from Fraser's Hill (Bukit Fraser) without asking information from RTM person.

Actually RTM Pahang FM 102.2MHz from Fraser's Hill covers blind spot areas in Raub, Pahang, also blind spot within Fraser's Hill where these areas cannot receive Gunung Ulu Kali 107.5MHz. When Pahang FM is using 102.2MHz in Fraser's Hill, then FM 102.0MHz is tested in Bukit Tampin, so FM 102.1MHz is not allowed to be used in Gunung Telapak Burok.

102.2MHz: Pahang FM Fraser's Hill
102.5MHz: Asyik FM Gunung Ulu Kali
<300kHz, OK>

102.1MHz: Raaga FM Bukit Larut
102.2MHz: Pahang FM Fraser's Hill
<100kHz, OK>

Although 102.2MHz is not clear in Klang Valley, but the reception of Pahang FM 102.2MHz Fraser's Hill is stronger than Nasional FM 106.2MHz and Radio Klasik FM 90.9MHz in Puchong, Selangor (Bandar Kinrara 4 is tested area).

Here's is the video....
