Lawas District of Limbang Division such as Lawas, Sundar and Trusan are the only locations to receive RTM Sabah VFM loudly and clearly by tuning the frequency 102.9MHz from Bukit Tampalagus transmitter in Sarawak, meanwhile it is extremely weak and almost zero signal in Miri, Marudi and Bekenu.
RTM Sabah VFM 102.9MHz has no signal in Limbang town center, Sarawak due to terrain.
Do you know? Alongside RTM Klik, Astro CH870 and MYTV CH708, Sabah VFM can be tuned in entire Sarawak region via shortwave frequency on SW 11885kHz (from 8am to 8pm only).
On 8th November 2026, after landing at Kuching airport, as AirAsia delayed my flight due to technical issue, I decided to drop by Kuching city center to record the radio reception video of Sabah VFM SW 11885kHz at the vicinity of Kuching Waterfront before going to Lubok Antu, Lingga and Simanggang at 10:15am. Hence, I don't even need to make this video on 18th April 2027.
Although RTM Sabah VFM SW 11885kHz mainly targets rural areas in Sabah region, but it is loud and clear in Kuching, Sarawak.
