Vacant FM frequencies in Betong, Thailand, but based on Thailand FM frequency allocation standard (250kHz per channel)

In conjunction with Betong International Airport which will be opened on June 2020 and boost the economy of the bordering region, I will list down the vacant FM frequencies of Betong, Thailand in order to encourage more radio stations to be launched there. Besides that, a basic frequency study (RF analysis) will be made too.

Note: As Thailand FM frequencies separation is 250kHz per channel, so I will list down the vacant frequencies by following Thailand FM frequencies standards.


- 87.5MHz
- 88.0MHz
- 89.25MHz
- 91.25MHz
- 93.75MHz
- 94.0MHz
- 95.75MHz
- 100.25MHz
- 101.5MHz 
- 101.75MHz
- 102.0MHz
- 102.75MHz
- 104.0MHz
- 104.75MHz
- 105.25MHz
- 105.5MHz
- 106.25MHz
- 107.75MHz

Based on frequency separation agreement above between MCMC and NBTC, the separations above are based on higher transmission power.

Among 18 vacant frequencies, some of them do not comply with minimum frequency separation, but they are likely suitable for low power transmission (300W or below), but I will list these 18 FM frequencies by dividing two categories, such as low power and medium to high power.

==Vacant frequencies for low power transmission in Betong, Thailand (<300W)==

* 88.0MHz
* 89.25MHz
* 93.75MHz
* 94.0MHz  
* 102.75MHz
* 104.75MHz
* 105.25MHz

==Vacant frequencies for medium to high power transmission in Betong, Thailand==

* 87.5MHz
* 91.25MHz
* 95.75MHz (1kW)
* 100.25MHz
* 101.5MHz
* 101.75MHz
* 102.0MHz
* 104.0MHz
* 105.5MHz
* 106.25MHz
* 107.75MHz

Apart from Radio Thailand Betong FM 93.0MHz and Love FM 99.5MHz, in conjunction with Betong International Airport, I do hope there will have more Betong local radio stations (like mini Hat Yai) and the frequencies listed will help the Thailand radio operators to broadcast in Betong.
