While many people complained that Media Prima One FM is not receivable in Singapore, regardless tuning on the frequency FM 88.1MHz from Gunung Ledang and low power Johor Bahru repeater FM 105.3MHz from Taman Sentosa JB, surprisingly Batam can receive Media Prima One FM (Chinese radio station from Malaysia) on 88.1MHz.
There is a Batam based YouTuber, known as Farrel Vicky, recorded few footage of receiving One FM 88.1MHz in Batam, Indonesia.
According to the footage, One FM 88.1MHz from Gunung Ledang has no interference from Singapore 88.3 Jia FM in Batam. I believe his radio receiver has good quality filtering devices, so that's why 88.1 has no adjacent channel interference from Singapore Jia FM 88.3MHz.
==DX Information of receiving Media Prima One FM in Batam==
* Frequency: FM 88.1MHz
* Power: 2kW
* Transmission site: Gunung Ledang, Johor, Malaysia
* Receiving site: Batam, Indonesia
* Distance: 212km
While One FM can be tuned in certain areas of Batam, Indonesia via 88.1MHz from Gunung Ledang, but it does not mean Singapore can receive the station. In Singapore, there are more high rise buildings than Batam. In addition, Singapore already has local station Jia FM 88.3MHz, so One FM 88.1MHz Gunung Ledang is not receivable in Singapore and having interference from local radio station. Meanwhile FM 105.3MHz Johor Bahru transmitter from Taman Sentosa is not receivable too in Singapore because 105.3 is operating at super lower power transmitter and transmission antenna does not beam to Singapore direction. I believe One FM JB frequency 105.3MHz is directional panel antenna, likely transmit to northeast direction (Kota Tinggi can receive it, but not clear).
When I was in Singapore, FM 105.3MHz is adjacent interference signal from Radio Republik Indonesia RRI Batam PRO-1 FM 105.1MHz and PRO-2 FM 105.5MHz badly, somehow FM 105.3MHz is a weak signal of Radio Canggai Putri from Karimun, Indonesia, caught in Tuas and Marina Bay, Singapore.
honestly speaking one fm is like non existence in sg, other than maybe woodlands can received. the receivable chinese stations from msia are ai fm, my fm and 988.
