RTM had done upgrading its Gunung Ledang radio transmitter system few weeks ago in June 2025, Melaka FM 102.3MHz which targets Malacca only and RTM Asyik FM 95.6MHz which mainly targets North Johor are now available in Temerloh and Chenor, Pahang.
For Asyik FM, its tuning frequency in Temerloh, Chenor and Maran is actually 102.5MHz, transmitted from Gunung Ulu Kali, but its Gunung Ledang transmitter on FM 95.6MHz can be received moderately in Temerloh and Chenor with mild interference from RTM Pahang FM 95.5MHz Bukit Sulai transmitter.
Before June 2025, Melaka FM 102.3MHz was not available in Pahang state at all, except Keratong, Felda Tembangau and Muadzam Shah, but it is now receivable moderately in Temerloh, Mentakab, and Chenor after its transmitter system was upgraded few weeks ago.
Transmitter powers of both radio stations are same as before, Asyik FM 95.6MHz is still at 0.25kW, meanwhile Melaka FM 102.3MHz is at 1kW, but their coverage become wider due to the antenna system.
In Chenor and Temerloh, I could detect the RDS PS text on my radio receiver when I tune Melaka FM 102.3MHz and Asyik FM 95.6MHz.
When Melaka FM 102.3MHz is now available in Temerloh and Chenor, Pahang FM 102.2MHz from Fraser's Hill which mainly covers Raub is having interference with Melaka FM in both locations. Between Melaka FM 102.3MHz and Pahang FM 102.2MHz, the signal of Melaka FM is stronger than Pahang FM 102.2MHz in Temerloh and Chenor.
From Kuala Lumpur to Kuantan on LPT highway, Melaka FM 102.3MHz is available from Lanchang until Chenor.
Pahang FM 102.2MHz from Bukit Fraser is moderately clear in Karak, but interference with Melaka FM 102.3MHz starts from Lanchang when heading to east.
Asyik FM 95.6MHz from Gunung Ledang and Pahang FM 95.5MHz from Bukit Sulai are interfering each other in Temerloh and Chenor, but Asyik FM 95.6MHz is stronger than Pahang FM 95.5MHz actually.
In conclusion, technically Melaka FM becomes bonus RTM radio station in Temerloh and Chenor, Pahang.
