From Sibu to Kapit, when you're listening to Cats FM on Sibu frequency on 88.4MHz (TX_Bukit Lima), but you may realize that Cats FM 88.4MHz has no signal in middle way during your journey to Kapit.
This usually happens when you reach Kanowit.
In Kanowit, Sarawak, Cats FM cannot be tuned on 88.4MHz from Bukit Lima transmitter. When I was in Kanowit two weeks ago, I also checked Cats FM radio signal.
While 88.4MHz has no signal in Kanowit, actually Cats FM can be tuned in Kanowit on 99.9MHz from Bukit Singgalang, but the signal is not clear.
From Kanowit to Kapit, Cats FM 99.9MHz has no signal anymore and it starts to have interference by RTM Sibu FM 99.8MHz Bukit Song transmitter near Song, Sarawak. Unlike RTM radio stations, Cats FM has no local transmitter in Bukit Song to cover that tiny town in Kapit Division, Sarawak, but the tuning frequency of Cats FM in Song, Sarawak is likely 107.6MHz from Bukit Kapit.
Cats FM has Kapit frequency on 107.6MHz, it was launched since September 2019 and transmitted from Bukit Kapit at 0.5kW transmitter power.
RTM radio stations in Bukit Kapit are only operating at 0.1kW transmitter power per station, but Cats FM 107.6MHz is at 0.5kW, so Cats FM's Bukit Kapit transmitter coverage is wider than RTM. By generating the radio coverage map of Bukit Kapit transmitter at 0.5kW transmission power can reach a weaker signal in Song, Sarawak.
In conclusion, between Sibu and Kapit, Cats FM is tuned in:
* Kanowit on 99.9MHz from Bukit Singgalang (weaker signal)
* Song on 107.6MHz from Bukit Kapit (weaker signal)
