FM radio aircheck: RTM state radio stations in Johol, Negeri Sembilan

 Johol is a small town located in between Kuala Pilah and Tampin, it is under Kuala Pilah district in Negeri Sembilan and postcode is 73100.

About radio stations reception in Johol, the small town is mostly receiving from Gunung Telapak Buruk, meanwhile several radio stations are needed to be tuned from Gunung Ledang.


RTM state radio stations are my primary target to check in Johol, Negeri Sembilan because they have different propagation, compare to commercial radio stations.


1. Negeri FM 92.6MHz Gunung Telapak Buruk (2kW)

Signal is very clear in Johol on 92.6MHz from Gunung Telapak Buruk, meanwhile FM 107.7MHz from Gunung Ledang is slightly weak.

 

2. Melaka FM 102.3MHz Gunung Ledang (1kW)

Moderate to clear signal in Johol, Negeri Sembilan is received. STEREO signal is received in the town on TECSUN PL-310ET radio receiver.

 

3. Johor FM 105.3MHz Gunung Ledang (1kW)

No interference with Suria FM 105.3MHz Gunung Ulu Kali, but Johor FM 105.3MHz Gunung Ledang signal is weaker than Melaka FM 102.3MHz Gunung Ledang in Johol, Negeri Sembilan. By checking the signal on TECSUN PL-380 radio receiver, Johor FM 105.3MHz signal is MONO there. In Air Mawang, mild co-channel inteference from Suria FM 105.3MHz Gunung Ulu Kali is detected.


No signal is heard in Johol, Negeri Sembilan when I tuned to Pahang FM 107.5MHz and Selangor FM 100.9MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali, even Asyik FM 95.6MHz Gunung Ledang.


Alongside RTM state radio stations, I also checked few radio stations signal randomly such as Lite FM 104.6MHz (Gunung Telapak Buruk) and Traxx FM (88.7MHz Gunung Telapak Buruk & 97.4MHz Gunung Ledang) in Johol.

 

Listeners who tune to Traxx FM in Johol have to tune to FM 97.4MHz from Gunung Ledang, rather than FM 88.7MHz from Gunung Telapak Buruk because I could hear the interference noise from Suria FM 88.5MHz Gunung Ledang transmitter when I tuned to Traxx FM 88.7MHz in Johol.

 

Lite FM 104.6MHz from Gunung Telapak Buruk is clear in Johol, meanwhile 92.2MHz from Gunung Ledang is moderately clear. By measuring the signal strength, 104.6MHz reading is higher than 92.2MHz in Johol, Negeri Sembilan.
