Eight FM 88.1MHz & 88.3MHz radio reception in Pedas, Negeri Sembilan

Eight FM's Seremban frequency is 88.3MHz, but it is transmitted from Bukit Gun to cover Seremban city only, instead of Gunung Telapak Buruk.

Serious interference will occur if Eight FM 88.3MHz is transmitted from Gunung Telapak Buruk.

 

The radio signal of Eight FM 88.3MHz goes weak when you tune outside Seremban, even no signal, so you need to switch to 88.1MHz (Gunung Ulu Kali or Gunung Ledang) which is weak signal.


Pedas is located between Senawang and Rembau, it is the last resort of Eight FM 88.3MHz coverage, but its signal is very weak. In Pedas, based on the videos of MML, by comparing between 88.1 and 88.3, it is slightly better to tune Eight FM in Pedas on 88.1MHz, but Eight FM 88.1MHz has self-interference because it uses same frequency in Gunung Ulu Kali and Gunung Ledang.


Based on my overall tuning experience, the signal of Eight FM 88.1MHz is better than 88.3MHz in Pedas, Negeri Sembilan. From Pedas to Simpang Ampat, 88.3 occasionally has Singapore radio station Jia FM signal via tropospheric propagation.
