Cannot search the tuning frequencies of Perak FM in Klian Intan and West Gerik? Listeners are adviced to tune to FM 102.9MHz (Lawin frequency)

Back to June 2023, I went to Hulu Perak for radio DXing convoy in Lenggong, Lawin, Gerik, Pengkalan Hulu, Klian Intan and Titiwangsa. 

FM 96.2MHz is the northernmost Perak FM's frequency in Perak state, transmitted from Mempelam Sari for Gerik town, meanwhile no exact coverage of this radio station in Pengkalan Hulu, Klian Intan, and West Gerik, meanwhile Tasik Banding, Tasik Temenggor and Titiwangsa areas can receive partially via FM 104.1MHz from Bukit Larut.

I was already aware of Pengkalan Hulu is the only Perak town where cannot receive Perak FM via frequency transmission, regardless any frequencies such as 96.2MHz Gerik, 102.9MHz Lawin, 94.2MHz Lenggong and 104.1MHz Bukit Larut. So, RTM has to set a transmitter, either in Bukit Palong or Pengkalan Hulu to cover that Perak's northernmost town.

In Klian Intan and West Gerik, Perak FM has no clear frequency, even FM 96.2MHz Gerik frequency is not receivable there, but according to my radio tuning experience, RTM Perak FM is weakly receivable via FM 102.9MHz which is transmitted from Lawin.

Perak FM 102.9MHz is a gap filler transmitter for Lawin where cannot receive 96.2MHz from Gerik, 104.1MHz from Bukit Larut and 94.2MHz from Lenggong, however it can transmit much further than FM 96.2MHz and FM 94.2MHz.

 

Lawin is a small town located between Gerik and Lenggong.

 

Cannot search Perak FM's frequencies in Klian Intan and West Gerik (Bintang Hijau) when 96.2MHz is dead? The listeners can try tuning on FM 102.9MHz from Lawin. 

When you are driving from Gerik to Baling via Jalan Gerik-Baling, then 96.2MHz becomes unavailable in Kenering. From Kenering to Bintang Hijau Sungai Rui, you can try tuning Perak FM on 102.9MHz.

 

At Bintang Hijau Sungai Rui rest stop, Perak FM was tuned weakly on 102.9MHz.

In addition, I also filmed two signal videos of Perak FM 102.9MHz in Klian Intan village, one of a video was recorded in front of Klian Intan police station.
