Manong is the only town in Kuala Kangsar district where is receivable of Pahang FM 107.5MHz and Selangor FM 100.9MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali.

Manong is the small town in Kuala Kangsar district, Perak, its postcode is 33800. The small town is located between Gunung Kledang and Gunung Bubu.

 

For radio stations, Manong is under coverage of Gunung Kledang transmitter, but people in this small town can receive few radio stations from Gunung Ulu Kali with weak signal.

 

On YouTube, there are two videos of receiving Selangor FM 100.9MHz and Pahang FM 107.5MHz in Manong, Perak, published by DX Radio Malaysia in October 2021.

 

According to the videos above, both radio stations signal are weak in Manong, Perak, the signal propagation Selangor FM 100.9MHz and Pahang FM 107.5MHz in Manong cannot be compared because both are same.

 

The distance from Gunung Ulu Kali to Manong, Perak is about 165km.

 

Selangor FM 100.9MHz has adjacent channel interference with 988 Taiping frequency FM 101.0MHz from Bukit Larut often when tuned in Central Perak such as Bota, Seri Iskandar, Seri Manjung, Lumut and Sitiawan, meanwhile it has no interference in Manong because Bukit Larut radio signal is not receivable there.

 

While GoXUAN Penang frequency FM 107.6MHz from Bukit Penara can be tuned in most of Kuala Kangsar districts with weaker signal such as Padang Rengas, Kuala Kangsar, Enggor and Sungai Siput (U), GoXUAN 107.6 has no signal in Manong, so Pahang FM 107.5MHz can be tuned weakly there without interference from GoXUAN.

 

Majority areas of Kuala Kangsar district cannot receive Selangor FM 100.9MHz and Pahang FM 107.5MHz because these frequencies are null by 988 FM 101.0MHz (Bukit Larut) and GoXUAN FM 107.6MHz (Bukit Penara), however Manong is the only town in Kuala Kangsar district where the people there can tune Selangor FM 100.9MHz and Pahang FM 107.5MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali. 

 

Meanwhile Selangor FM 100.9MHz cannot be tuned in its neighboring town, Parit in Perak Tengah District because 988 Taiping frequency FM 101.0MHz is quite clear there, but Pahang FM 107.5MHz signal in Parit is weaker than Manong.
