Back to 29th September 2024, I checked the radio reception of Eight FM in Pekan Nanas and Pontian on 88.1MHz and 105.3MHz, but in these two towns, Eight FM is still tuned on 88.1MHz from Gunung Ledang, meanwhile FM 105.3MHz is still a weak radio signal of RTM Johor FM Gunung Ledang transmitter without interference from Eight FM Johor Bahru frequency which is transmitted from Taman Sentosa, not Gunung Pulai.
Today, I check its radio signal in 5 locations of South Johor such as Senai, Kulai, Kota Tinggi, Ulu Tiram and Skudai to compare between 88.1MHz and 105.3MHz.
==Kulai==
In Kulai, the listeners need to tune Eight FM on 88.1MHz from Gunung Ledang because its low power Johor Bahru frequency 105.3MHz has co-channel interference with RTM Johor FM Gunung Ledang transmitter.
Video is recorded in Kulai town.
==Senai==
Same condition as Kulai, Eight FM 105.3MHz Taman Sentosa JB transmitter signal is moderately clear, but it doesn't have co-channel interference with Johor FM from Gunung Ledang.
88.1MHz from Gunung Ledang is moderately clear and weak in Senai.
By comparing between 105.3 and 88.1, Eight FM 105.3MHz is clearer than 88.1MHz in Senai.
==Kota Tinggi==
* FM 105.3MHz is RTM Johor FM signal from Gunung Ledang tuned in Kota Tinggi, but Eight FM 88.1MHz Gunung Ledang signal is very weak there.
* Not every Kota Tinggi areas can receive Eight FM on 88.1MHz from Gunung Ledang.
==Ulu Tiram and Skudai==
During my departure from Kota Tinggi to Kuala Lumpur, I pass by Ulu Tiram and Skudai, Eight FM 105.3MHz is moderately clear in both Ulu Tiram and Skudai, meanwhile 88.1MHz is moderately weak in Skudai, but no signal in Ulu Tiram.
No co-channel interference from Johor FM Gunung Ledang transmitter is detected in Skudai and Ulu Tiram when I tune Eight FM 105.3MHz.
