Traxx FM or Sabah FM? Wrong RDS information of FM 102.9MHz in South Johor.

When I was in Johor on 29th September 2024, during my way back home to Balakong in Selangor, I tuned Traxx FM on 102.9MHz (Gunung Pulai) in Sedenak and Simpang Renggam, Johor. Then I saw different RDS text information.

 

The PS (Program Service) is correct as:

TRAXX FM

But wrong radio text, written as "radio malaysia sabah fm". 

Traxx FM or Sabah FM?

 

Both radio stations are using same frequency, but different locations. Traxx FM is using FM 102.9MHz in Gunung Pulai for South Johor, meanwhile FM 102.9MHz in Sabah is used by Sabah VFM for Sipitang, Labuan and Lawas, transmitted from Bukit Tampalagus.

 

On other side, I also suspect RTM Traxx FM 102.9MHz Gunung Pulai transmitter may use Sabah VFM old RDS encoder by transferring the encoder from Bukit Tampalagus to Gunung Pulai without editing the radio text.

 

Actually I was listening to Traxx FM on 102.9MHz in Johor, not Sabah VFM. Around 11.51 am, Sabah VFM was airing Chinese program, meanwhile Traxx FM was airing Sunday Breakfast Show with Albert Ng in English which plays the oldies from 1950s till 1980s.

 

RTM can fix Traxx FM's Gunung Pulai transmitter 102.9MHz RDS text information properly.
