Traxx FM can be tuned alternatively in Raub, Pahang via FM 97.4MHz from Gunung Ledang when the radio reception of FM 100.1MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali becomes weak.

In 2017, RTM added gap filler transmitters in Fraser's Hill (Bukit Fraser) to cover Raub where it is a blind spot location of Gunung Ulu Kali transmitter. Regarding the radio stations, RTM only launched four radio stations there such as:


* Radio Klasik FM 90.9MHz

* Nasional FM 106.2MHz

* Pahang FM 102.2MHz

* Ai FM 97.1MHz


Transmitter power is only 0.125kW, meanwhile Traxx FM, Asyik FM and Minnal FM are not available of their transmitters in Fraser's Hill like 4 radio stations above. I had asked RTM regarding Traxx FM Fraser's Hill transmitter, I was informed by RTM that MCMC turned down the transmission approval of Traxx FM, Asyik FM and Minnal FM in Fraser's Hill due to interference and unavailability of the frequencies.


In conjunction with World Radio Day 2023 which falls on 13th February 2023 (Monday), I come to Raub and Sungai Koyan for FM DXing on 12th February 2023 (Sunday) to celebrate World Radio Day one day in advance. Hence, I film Traxx FM 97.4MHz Gunung Ledang radio reception video in Raub, Pahang.


Traxx FM radio reception is weak and no signal in several Raub locations on 100.1MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali. Alternatively Traxx FM can be tuned on 97.4MHz from Gunung Ledang, radio reception of 97.4MHz is slightly better than 100.1MHz, but it is still moderate to weak.


FM 97.4MHz from Gunung Ledang is an another alternative frequency of Traxx FM in Raub, Pahang when 100.1MHz radio reception is poor.


* Frequency: FM 97.4MHz

* Power: 2kW

* Transmission site: Gunung Ledang, Johor

* Receiving site: Raub, Pahang

* Distance: 181km


In most of Raub areas, Traxx FM 100.1MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali radio reception is stronger than 97.4MHz from Gunung Ledang. In Raub town, 100.1 is better than 97.4.


Happy World Radio Day to all radio brodcaster from Philip DXing Log.
