In Penang, normally RTM radio stations are tuned on Gunung Jerai frequencies except Mutiara FM 93.9MHz.
When I was in Georgetown, I usually tuned to Traxx FM on 98.7MHz from Gunung Jerai. In fact, neglect Mutiara FM, RTM does have radio transmitter in Bukit Penara for Radio Klasik, Nasional FM, Ai FM, Traxx FM and Minnal FM, but they're gap filler transmitter to cover Paya Terubong and Air Itam.
Meanwhile Bukit Genting is covering Balik Pulau and Teluk Kumbar of Penang.
Here is the frequencies list of RTM transmitters in Penang state.
==Bukit Penara==
* Radio Klasik FM 101.7MHz (0.25kW)
* Nasional FM 93.9MHz (0.25kW)
* Mutiara FM 95.7MHz (1kW)
* Traxx FM 88.5MHz (0.25kW)
* Ai FM 92.1MHz (0.25kW)
* Minnal FM 98.9MHz (0.25kW)
==Bukit Genting (0.1kW)==
* Radio Klasik FM 101.7MHz
* Nasional FM 93.9MHz
* Mutiara FM 90.9MHz
* Traxx FM 88.5MHz
* Ai FM 92.1MHz
* Minnal FM 98.9MHz
Look at the frequency allocations above, except Mutiara FM, RTM radio stations in Bukit Penara and Bukit Genting are using same frequencies. This is also considered as single frequency network (SFN).
The frequencies above 101.7MHz, 93.9MHz, 88.5MHz, 92.1MHz and 98.9MHz in Bukit Penara and Bukit Genting are gap filler transmission, they don't cover Georgetown and Seberang Perai.
Different from GoXUAN FM 107.6MHz SFN condition, RTM 101.7MH, 93.9MHz, 88.5MHz, 92.1MHz and 98.9MHz in Bukit Penara and Bukit Genting operate at low power transmitters. Bukit Genting is 0.1kW, meanwhile Bukit Penara (except Mutiara FM 95.7MHz) is 0.25kW or lesser.
The SFN condition of RTM Penang transmitter is same as MBC Munhwa Bangsong FM 102.5MHz in Gangwon province, and selected Korea radio stations on same frequencies within the region.
FM 102.5MHz in Taegisan is same as RTM Bukit Penara (except 95.7MHz), meanwhile FM 102.5MHz in Pyeongchang is same as RTM Bukit Genting.
RTM Bukit Penara (except 95.7MHz)= Taegisan 태기산
RTM Bukit Genting= Pyeongchang 평창군
In terms of transmission power of RTM Bukit Penara (except Mutiara FM 95.7MHz) and Bukit Genting, the single frequency network (SFN) allocation of RTM Penang transmitters are more to same as MBC Munhwa Bangsong FM 88.9MHz in Chuncheon region.
In Chuncheon region, MBC Munhwa Bangsong uses 88.9MHz in two different radio transmitter site with low power transmission as relay stations. According to MBC Munhwa Bangsong Korean Wikipedia, FM 88.9MHz transmits in Daeamsan and Cheorwon at 0.5kW and 0.09kW power respectively.
==Malaysia SFN on FM radio (low power vs. low power)==
101.7MHz: Radio Klasik FM Bukit Penara
101.7MHz: Radio Klasik FM Bukit Genting
93.9MHz: Nasional FM Bukit Penara
93.9MHz: Nasional FM Bukit Genting
88.5MHz: Traxx FM Bukit Penara
88.5MHz: Traxx FM Bukit Genting
92.1MHz: Ai FM Bukit Penara
92.1MHz: Ai FM Bukit Genting
98.9MHz: Minnal FM Bukit Penara
98.9MHz: Minnal FM Bukit Genting
==South Korea SFN on FM radio (low power vs. low power)==
98.3MHz: MBC FM4U Daeamsan
98.3MHz: MBC FM4U Cheorwon
88.9MHz: MBC Standard FM Daeamsan
88.9MHz: MBC Standard FM Cheorwon
From analysis above, Daeamsan for Inje is same as Bukit Penara, meanwhile Cheorwon is Korea version of Bukit Genting.
Other than MBC Munhwa Bangsong, actually MBC FM4U also operates on FM 98.3MHz in Daemsan and Cheorwon as low power repeater. In addition, KBS Radio 2 has three low power repeaters operate on FM 99.5MHz in Busan province such as:
1. Milet (15W)
2. Yangsan (20W)
