Radio stations in Tapah, Perak (2026 edition)

Tapah is a town of South Perak located in Batang Padang District, it is a famous stopover town between Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur to many travelers, alongside Bidor.

 

For radio stations coverage, Tapah is often a blindspot location, only 3 radio stations such as Radio Klasik FM 88.7MHz, Perak FM 97.3MHz and Era FM 102.0MHz.

 

Between Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh, personally Tapah is my all time favorite town to conduct radio signal monitoring. Technically many radio stations are tuned in Tapah, Perak via Gunung Ulu Kali transmitters, but some of them rely on Gunung Kledang transmitter as Gunung Ulu Kali has no signal there.

 

Between Gunung Kledang and Gunung Ulu Kali, actually a Gunung Ulu Kali transmitted radio station has better signal than Gunung Kledang in Tapah, Perak because the height of Gunung Ulu Kali is 1774 meter above sea level, meanwhile most of Gunung Kledang transmitted radio stations are weak in Tapah as the signal is blocked by Sungai Salu Reserve (Hutan Simpan Sungai Salu) where divides Jeram and Chenderiang.

 

Fly FM and Suria FM are the only radio stations needed to be tuned in Tapah, Perak via Gunung Kledang transmitter on 87.9MHz and 96.0MHz respectively because 95.8MHz and 105.3MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali have no signal there. 

 

MY FM is tuned via Gunung Kledang transmitter in Tapah, Perak on 100.6MHz as its 101.8MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali is interfered by Era FM 102.0MHz from Changkat Rembian transmitter. Lite FM 101.5MHz is slightly clearer than 105.7MHz in Tapah, Perak. 

 

Although 988 is tuned on FM 98.8MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali in Tapah, but it is also tuned on FM 99.8MHz from Gunung Kledang there when 98.8MHz has interference with RTM Minnal FM 98.9MHz from Gunung Kledang.

 

RTM radio stations are mostly tuned via Gunung Ulu Kali transmitter in Tapah, except Radio Klasik and Perak FM.
