In conjunction with Malaysia Day public holiday, I went to Muadzam Shah, Pahang for radio signal monitoring activity. Originally I planned to drop by there on 31st August 2022 during departure from Kuantan to Balakong, but it was too far to travel such routes. Hence, I chose to carry forward Muadzam Shah FM DXing to Malaysia Day holiday. So, I made decision to come on 18th September 2022, rather than 16th September 2022.
Few radio stations are taken sample of signal reception in Muadzam Shah, Pahang, such as:
1. Hot FM
4 frequencies can be received in Muadzam Shah. The clearest Hot FM frequency is FM 104.3MHz from Gunung Ledang, following by FM 99.5MHz Gunung Telapak Buruk and FM 97.6MHz Gunung Ulu Kali, meanwhile FM 92.4MHz from Bukit Pelindung is still receivable.
2. Asyik FM
I compare two frequencies reception in Muadzam Shah. FM 102.5MHz Gunung Ulu Kali and FM 95.6MHz Gunung Ledang are receivable there. In terms of signal reception, Asyik FM 102.5MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali is more stable than 95.6MHz from Gunung Ledang.
Asyik FM 95.6MHz from Gunung Ledang is clear, but unstable due to adjacent channel interference with Pahang FM 95.5MHz from Bukit Sulai which intends for Gambang, Sri Jaya, and Chini.
3. Pahang FM
None of frequencies are having clear and stable signal in Muadzam Shah. The local transmitter FM 88.0MHz from Bukit Sembilan is being interfered by RTM Radio Klasik FM 87.9MHz from Gunung Telapak Buruk badly, and interference with 8FM 88.1MHz from Gunung Ledang could be detected certainly.
FM 95.5MHz from Bukit Sulai reception is unstable due to adjacent channel interference with Asyik FM 95.6MHz from Gunung Ledang.
FM 104.1MHz from Bukit Pelindung is having co-channel interference with Best FM 104.1MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali.
FM 107.5MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali is the most stable frequency, but weak reception in Muadzam Shah.
4. MY FM
Same goes to Hot FM, 4 frequencies are receivable. FM 106.4MHz Gunung Ledang is the clearest, following by FM 100.6MHz Gunung Telapak Buruk dan FM 101.8MHz Gunung Ulu Kali.
FM 101.1MHz Bukit Pelindung is still receivable with unstable STEREO signal.
5. Best FM
FM 94.8MHz from Gunung Ledang is the clearest and most stable frequency, meanwhile FM 104.1MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali is having co-channel interference with Pahang FM 104.1MHz from Bukit Pelindung.
6. Lite FM
My favorite radio station actually. FM 92.2MHz from Gunung Ledang is the clearest, meanwhile FM 104.6MHz Gunung Telapak Buruk and FM 105.7MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali signal reception are moderate. From Seremban to Muadzam Shah, I listened to Lite FM all the way on FM 104.6MHz.
7. 988 FM
FM 98.2MHz from Gunung Ledang is the clearest in Muadzam Shah.
8. THR Gegar FM 88.8MHz
Adjacent channel interference with Traxx FM 88.7MHz from Gunung Telapak Buruk is detected.
9. THR Raaga
Among three tested frequencies, FM 99.7MHz from Gunung Ledang is the clearest, meanwhile FM 101.5MHz Gunung Telapak Buruk and FM 99.3MHz Gunung Ulu Kali are weak there.
10. Negeri FM
FM 107.7MHz Gunung Ledang is slightly clearer than FM 92.6MHz Gunung Telapak Buruk.
11. Johor FM
Although Johor FM 105.3MHz covers North Johor only, but it is the clearest RTM state radio station from Gunung Ledang received in Muadzam Shah, Pahang.
12. Melaka FM
Compare with Negeri FM 107.7MHz and Johor FM 105.3MHz reception in Muadzam Shah, RTM Melaka FM 102.3MHz is the weaker as its Gunung Ledang transmission mainly beams to west direction to cover Melaka.
13. 8FM (formerly known as One FM)
Signal is quite weak, minor adjacent channel interference with Pahang FM 88.0MHz Bukit Sembilan transmitter is detected in Muadzam Shah.
14. CityPlus FM 106.0MHz
Reception is moderate to clear in Muadzam Shah, but adjacent channel interference with Ai FM 106.1MHz from Bukit Pelindung can be detected in several areas.
Overall check, Gunung Ledang transmitted radio stations are the clearest in Muadzam Shah, following by Gunung Telapak Buruk. Several Gunung Ulu Kali transmitted radio stations are still clear in Muadzam Shah, mainly Lite FM 105.7MHz, Zayan FM 104.9MHz, and Minnal FM 96.3MHz.
All radio check aka FM DX was conducted and filmed in Dataran Bandar Muadzam Shah, Pahang where located exactly at the town center.
Regarding Singapore radio stations in Muadzam Shah and Keratong, I did try CNA 93.8FM, Kiss 92FM, and One FM 91.3, none of them were receivable.
==Radio transmission distance to Muadzam Shah==
* Gunung Ledang: 93km
* Gunung Ulu Kali: 149km
* Bukit Pelindung: 92km
* Gunung Telapak Buruk: 115km
