Thanks to Senn Lens for making awesome FM DX footage on YouTube.

 

In most of Kelantan areas, we usually can receive Thailand radio stations from Sungai Golok, Narathiwat, Sungai Padi and Yala, however it is very rare to catch Pattani transmitted Thai radio station.

 

The Thailand's PSU Radio Pattani FM 107.25MHz is the most powerful Pattani radio station in Kelantan, Malaysia in term of signal propagation and transmission.

 

Before Malaysia starting first lockdown (known as MCO 1.0- Movement Control Order 1.0), Senn Lens managed to receive PSU Radio Pattani FM 107.25MHz in four locations within Kelantan state. I made this news before, but the signal monitoring footage of PSU Radio Pattani FM 107.25MHz in Kelantan impressed me again when I repeated watching them. Hence, I write an article today by focusing on this radio station.

 

These four locations that Senn Lens received PSU Radio Pattani FM 107.25MHz were:

 

1. Kota Bharu

2. Pasir Mas

3. Ayer Lanas

4. Jeli

 

Let's watch these footage below: 

1. Kota Bharu

 

2. Ayer Lanas

 

 

3. Pasir Mas

 

4. Jeli (nearby R&R Titiwangsa)

 

Transmitter power of PSU Radio Pattani FM 107.25MHz is 1kW, transmitted from Price of Songkhla University Pattani Campus, in Tambon Rusamilae, Mueang Pattani District, Pattani Province, Thailand.

 

Antenna height is 100m, meanwhile the height of transmission site above sea level is 6m. Antenna system is vertical polarization, meanwhile ERP (effective radiated power) is 2kW.

 

Transmission distance of PSU Radio Pattani FM 107.25MHz to Kelantan areas that Senn Lens managed to receive:

 

1. Kota Bharu (140km)

2. Pasir Mas (137km)

3. Ayer Lanas (142km)

4. Jeli (nearby R&R Titiwangsa) (147km)

 

In terms of signal reception quality of PSU Radio Pattani FM 107.25MHz, the clearest location is Jeli (nearby R&R Titiwangsa), following by Ayer Lanas and Kota Bharu, meanwhile Pasir Mas is the weakest location to receive PSU Radio Pattani FM 107.25MHz.

 

Revised SINPO codes are given below:

- Kota Bharu: 42233

- Pasir Mas: 12221

- Jeli (nearby R&R Titiwangsa): 55555

- Ayer Lanas: 55455

 

Signal quality of PSU Radio Pattani FM 107.25MHz in Kelantan (from best to worst)

1. Jeli (nearby R&R Titiwangsa) 

2. Ayer Lanas

3. Kota Bharu (interference with Fly FM 107.4MHz)

4. Pasir Mas 

 

As I mentioned before, the signal propagation of PSU Radio Pattani FM 107.25MHz to Kelantan can overlap RTM Kelantan FM 107.1MHz Bukit Bintang coverage, except Pasir Puteh and Bachok. The five videos of this radio stations by Senn Lens are very impressive to me. 

 

If I have opportunity to come to Terengganu, I will try to catch PSU Radio Pattani in Pulau Perhentian, Setiu, Permaisuri, Pulau Redang and Kuala Terengganu.
