Pusa is the best town in Betong Division, Sarawak to tune Kuching radio stations clearly via frequency transmission.

 

Pusa is a small town in Betong Division, Sarawak, it is located between Saratok and Debak, but near to Batang Saribas and the coast.


Compare with other areas in Betong Division such as Roban, Saratok, Debak, Kabong, Spaoh and Betong, actually Pusa is the best location in Betong Division, Sarawak where the listeners can tune several Kuching radio stations clearly from Gunung Serapi and Bukit Djin via frequency transmission.


Today on 27th July 2025, the Sarawak radio DXer, named @Sarawakian_12 publishes the radio signal monitoring audio clips in Pusa, Sarawak on YouTube. He tunes 6 Kuching radio stations in Pusa, Sarawak.


1. Hot FM 94.3MHz (120km from Gunung Serapi)


Two months ago, I also monitored Hot FM 94.3MHz radio signal in Simanggang (Sri Aman), Engkilili, Debak, Saratok and Roban. At my side, Saratok is the clearest town to tune Hot FM 94.3MHz, following by Roban and Engkilili, meanwhile Hot FM 94.3MHz is interfered badly by RTM Sarawak FM 94.4MHz in Simanggang and Debak.


Although Pusa is not far from RTM Sarawak FM 94.4MHz Off Spaoh transmitter where its distance is just 25km, but Hot FM 94.3MHz has no interference noise from this radio station in Pusa, Sarawak. For RTM Sarawak FM, it can be tuned in Pusa clearly on 100.3MHz from Bukit Temudok.

 

RTM Sarawak FM 94.4MHz is a low power transmitter in Off Spaoh to cover only Spaoh, Debak and Betong. Sarawak FM 100.3MHz Bukit Temudok transmitter is less clear in some locations within Debak, so FM 94.4MHz covers the blindspot coverage of FM 100.3MHz in Debak, Sarawak.

 

2. RTM Wai FM Iban FM 101.3MHz (120km from Gunung Serapi)


RTM Wai FM Iban can be tuned in Pusa even clearer via Sri Aman FM 89.5MHz from Bukit Temudok, except 9am to 12pm radio slot. Alongside RTM Klik, Astro CH871, MYTV CH710 and shortwave SW 11665kHz, RTM Wai FM Iban 101.3MHz is the alternative frequency in Pusa when the listeners tune to Wai 9-12 from 9am to 12pm while Sri Aman is airing 3 hours local Malay language broadcast.

 

3. RTM Wai FM Bidayuh FM 106.1MHz (120km from Gunung Serapi)


Although there are very less Bidayuh people residing in Pusa, but Pusa is a bonus coverage of Wai FM Bidayuh on 106.1MHz from Gunung Serapi. According to @Sarawakians_12, Wai FM Bidayuh has no signal on 101.7MHz from Gunung Ampungan.

 

4. RTM Radio Klasik FM 92.9MHz (120km from Gunung Serapi)


RTM Radio Klasik can be tuned clearly on FM 107.3MHz from Bukit Temudok in Pusa, Sarawak. From Debak to Pusa, as Radio Klasik operates on FM 92.8MHz in Off Spaoh, so there is self-interference of Radio Klasik between FM 92.8MHz (Off Spaoh) and FM 92.9MHz (Gunung Serapi).

 

5. Kupi-Kupi FM 92.5MHz (102km from Bukit Djin)


The signal in Pusa is clearer than Saratok, Engkilili, and Simanggang where I tuned 2 months ago.

 

6. Eight FM 98.3MHz (102km from Bukit Djin)


Eight FM 98.3MHz from Bukit Djin is the only full fledged Chinese commercial radio station available in Pusa, Sarawak, meanwhile MY FM 96.9MHz and Melody FM 103.7MHz are not available there.

 

The radio signal of RTM Wai FM Iban 101.3MHz, RTM Wai FM Bidayuh FM 106.1MHz and Hot FM 94.3MHz are very clear in Pusa, Sarawak, meanwhile Kupi-Kupi FM 92.5MHz and Eight FM 98.3MHz are moderately clear there too.


Overall, the listeners can tune more radio stations in Pusa than other areas in Betong Division, Sarawak. Here is a list of the radio stations in Pusa, Sarawak.


* RTM Radio Klasik FM 107.3MHz (Bukit Temudok)

* RTM Nasional FM 98.9MHz (Bukit Temudok)

Astro radio stations are likely not receivable in Pusa, Sarawak due to low power transmission and directional antenna.


Thanks to @Sarawakians_12 for contributing FM radio signal monitoring works by recording some Bukit Djin and Gunung Serapi radio stations signal as the sample.
