Asyik FM in Negeri Sembilan (research by adding gap filler transmitter)




As 2018, RTM Asyik FM can be received in part of Negeri Sembilan with three existing frequencies:

* FM 102.5MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali: Mantin, Nilai, Lukut, Labu, Lenggeng, Port Dickson, Rembau, Pedas, Simpang Pertang, Sungai Lui, part of Seremban/Senawang/Jempol, Durian Tipus
* FM 91.1MHz from Kuala Lumpur Tower: Nilai, Mantin, Pantai and Pajam
* FM 95.6MHz from Gunung Ledang: Gemencheh, Bandar Seri Jempol, Serting and Rompin

These areas above are partially having Orang Asli residents, but some of Orang Asli areas in Negeri Sembilan are not covered by Asyik FM such as Kuala Pilah, Tanjung Ipoh and Johol. Rest of RTM radio stations in Negeri Sembilan (except Tampin and Sungai Lui) are covered by Gunung Telapak Burok, but Asyik FM has no transmitter in Gunung Telapak Burok.

Although there is unavailable frequencies in Gunung Telapak Burok, but wants to cover Kuala Pilah, Tanjung Ipoh and Johol Orang Asli areas, coincidentally RTM has analog television station transmitter in Bukit Kayu Ara for Kuala Pilah which might establish earlier than Gunung Telapak Burok, so in my opinion, RTM can add pocket filling transmitter for Asyik FM in Negeri Sembilan deeper areas by installing in Bukit Kayu Ara.

In Kuala Pilah district, there has Orang Asli village in Tanjung Ipoh (Kampung Orang Asli Langkap) under Terachi mukim, but this area is not covered by Asyik FM existing transmitters. Tanjung Ipoh can only receive radio stations from Gunung Telapak Burok, meanwhile Bukit Gan which covers only Seremban is just working as "extender".

If RTM adds Asyik FM in Bukit Kayu Ara, Kuala Pilah, Tanjung Ipoh, Seri Menanti and Juasseh will get covered, further areas such as Johol, Dangi, Bahau, Batu Kikir and part of Bandar Seri Jempol still can receive Asyik FM from Bukit Kayu Ara.

==My personal research and suggestion of Asyik FM gap filler frequency in Negeri Sembilan==
* Frequency: FM 105.5MHz
* Power: 2kW
* Transmitting site: Bukit Kayu Ara, Negeri Sembilan
* Expected coverage: Tanjung Ipoh, Seri Menanti, Kuala Pilah, Johol, Dangi, Bahau, Juasseh, Batu Kikir and part of Bandar Seri Jempol

==RF analysis==

105.3MHz: Johor FM Gunung Ledang
105.5MHz: Asyik FM Bukit Kayu Ara
<200kHz, OK>

105.3MHz: Suria FM Gunung Ulu Kali
105.5MHz: Asyik FM Bukit Kayu Ara
<200kHz, OK>

105.5MHz: Asyik FM Bukit Kayu Ara
105.7MHz: Lite FM Gunung Ulu Kali
<200kHz, OK>

105.5MHz: Asyik FM Bukit Kayu Ara
106.0MHz: City Plus FM Gunung Telapak Burok
<500kHz, OK>
