Compilation radio reception videos of RTM Perlis FM 102.9MHz in Penang (2024-2025)

Do you know? RTM Perlis FM can be tuned in part of Penang via 102.9MHz from Padang Pauh transmitter.

In some areas of Penang, I could tune RTM Perlis FM 102.9MHz weakly and moderately in 2025.

1. Komtar, Georgetown  (120km)

2. Gurney (118km)

3. Kepala Batas (112km)

4. Tanjung Bungah (114km)

5. Batu Ferringhi (114km)

6. Teluk Bahang (115km)

7. Esplanade Walkway, Georgetown  (120km)

The best locations to tune Perlis FM 102.9MHz in Penang are Batu Ferringhi, Tanjung Bungah and Teluk Bahang because they're facing to the sea.

Perlis FM 102.9MHz has mild adjacent channel interference from Melody FM 103.0MHz Gunung Ulu Kali transmitter in Georgetown, Seberang Jaya and Permatang Pauh, meanwhile it has interference from Thailand's Army Radio TP4 FM 103.0MHz Trang in Georgetown too sometimes.

In Georgetown, the signal is clearer if I tuned to Perlis FM 102.9MHz at higher altitudes, especially higher floor of the buidlings and apartments. That's why I don't recommend BFM to use 102.9MHz in Bukit Sungai Kechil to cover Penang, otherwise BFM will face co-channel interference from Perlis FM in Penang.

I recorded these videos in Penang as the experiment and amateur radio field test to make RF analysis of BFM 102.9MHz Bukit Sungai Kechil transmitter for Penang.
