In Sarikei, alongside RTM radio stations and Cats FM, I had managed to tune 4 commercial radio stations from Sibu's Bukit Lima such as Era FM Sarawak 96.3MHz, Hitz FM 105.1MHz, MY FM 105.9MHz and Tea FM 100.7MHz with moderate signal. However, I also could receive RTM Wai FM Bidayuh/Radio Kayan signal in Sarikei, Sarawak on the frequency 106.1MHz from Gunung Serapi.
Technically RTM Wai FM Bidayuh/Radio Kayan 106.1MHz Gunung Serapi transmitter can be tuned moderately in Saratok, Roban, Pusa and Kabong where are located at northern part of Betong Division. Surprisingly, Wai FM Bidayuh/Radio Kayan 106.1MHz could be detected in Sarikei, Sarawak with weak signal.
The signal was very weak in Sarikei town, but it was moderately clear at some areas outside the vicinity of Sarikei town center when I was heading from Pan Borneo Highway to Sarikei town center.
Receiving distance from Gunung Serapi to Sarikei is 161km, RTM Wai FM Bidayuh/Radio Kayan becomes the furthest radio station in Sarikei, Sarawak.
* Frequency: FM 106.1MHz
* Power: 1kW
* Transmitter site: Gunung Serapi, Kuching, Sarawak
* Receiving site: Sarikei, Sarawak
* Distance: 158-161km
Meanwhile RTM Wai FM Iban 101.3MHz from Gunung Serapi had no signal in Sarikei, both Iban and Bidayuh radio stations are using different transmitter and antenna systems in Gunung Serapi. It seems that RTM Wai FM Bidayuh 106.1MHz has wider coverage than Wai FM Iban 101.3MHz.
Malay commercial radio station Hot FM 94.3MHz from Gunung Serapi has no signal in Sarikei town, but it has signal near Pakan.
On Pan Borneo Highway within Sarikei Division, I also could detect RTM Wai FM Bidayuh/Radio Kayan signal on 106.1MHz near Pakan area when I was heading back to Sibu, Sarawak, the tuning distance is about 168km.
