"Frekuensi IKIM FM di Langkawi berapa?" (What is the tuning frequency of IKIM FM in Langkawi)

 

Do you know? IKIM FM can be listened via radio in Langkawi Island on either 89.0MHz from Gunung Jerai or 102.7MHz from Bukit Genting. In Langkawi, Gunung Raya is the transmitter site for broadcast service to cover the entire island, but not all radio stations invest there due to commercial reasons. Hence, some of radio stations can be tuned in Langkawi via Gunung Jerai transmitter, however it only applies in certain locations.

 

Some of locations cannot receive Gunung Jerai transmitted radio stations due to terrains.

 

For IKIM FM, according to its official website frequency list publication, Langkawi tuning frequency is FM 89.0MHz from Gunung Jerai. The frequency FM 89.0MHz is not only used by IKIM FM in Gunung Jerai, it is also used by Thailand Parliament Radio Station in Khao Pok Yo transmitter site for Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat province, Thailand. In Langkawi Island, Thailand Parliament Radio Station FM 89.0MHz is available in certain locations, this causes IKIM FM 89.0MHz signal is interfered by Thailand radio.

 

Listeners may receive Thailand Parliament Radio from Yala (which is overspill signal) in certain locations within Langkawi Island when they're tuning IKIM FM on 89.0MHz, and these locations will suffer co-channel interference between IKIM FM and Thailand Parliament Radio on FM 89.0MHz.

 

Alternatively, listeners can switch to FM 102.7MHz from Bukit Genting to listen to IKIM FM in Langkawi Island if FM 89.0MHz is interfered by Thailand radio stations. To provide evidence of IKIM FM reception in Langkawi, my Langkawi friend and I made few IKIM FM 89.0MHz and 102.7MHz Langkawi signal monitoring videos on YouTube, therefore listeners can find the answer easily.

 

According to the videos, IKIM FM 89.0MHz and 102.7MHz are receivable in Langkawi, but it is inconsistently clear. When I was in Langkawi Island 3 years ago, I usually received on 102.7MHz than 89.0MHz because 89.0MHz in the locations that I traveled was mostly null, weak and having interference from Thailand.

==My signal monitoring activity of IKIM FM in Langkawi (recorded by using Samsung Galaxy V Plus)==

- Kuah: FM 89.0MHz

- Cenang: FM 102.7MHz

- Langkawi International Airport: FM 89.0MHz/102.7MHz

- Telaga Tujuh Waterfall: FM 102.7MHz

 

IKIM FM 102.7MHz from Bukit Genting somewhat is clearer than 89.0MHz from Gunung Jerai in some areas within Langkawi Island.

In conclusion, IKIM FM listeners need to tune on 89.0MHz and 102.7MHz vice-versa in Langkawi Island, Kedah. For listeners who can't receive 89.0MHz in Langkawi as per published on IKIM FM website, please try FM 102.7MHz instead.
