Reason of RTM Radio Klasik 88.7MHz Bukit Gantang launched

Normally RTM radio in Taiping, Changkat Jering receive from Bukit Larut. One of RTM radio station launched another transmitter in Bukit Gantang. Actually there are some reason of Radio Klasik 88.7MHz Bukit Gantang launched.

1. In certain Taiping rural areas like Padang Rengas and Changkat Jering, FM 103.3MHz Bukit Larut is not received clearly there. Radio Klasik FM 103.3MHz Bukit Larut was interfered by Era FM 103.3MHz Gunung Ulu Kali in these areas, perhaps Era FM 103.3MHz is very strong in Perak. Radio Klasik 103.3MHz Bukit Larut is using 0.5kW.

2. Bukit Gantang is political purpose site. RTM Radio Klasik 88.7MHz Bukit Gantang was launched during Tun Abdullah Badawi era. It launched at Bukit Gantang small election.

Power: 0.5kW or 1kW

Target location: Georgetown, Seberang Perai and North Perak

==Stations involved in this analysis==

- Perlis FM 102.9MHz Padang Pauh

- IKIM FM 102.7MHz Bukit Genting

==Result of RF analysis==

Case1: IKIM FM Bukit Penara 102.9MHz vs. IKIM FM Bukit Genting 102.7MHz

Results: OK, passed

Case2: IKIM FM Bukit Penara 102.9MHz vs. Perlis FM Padang Pauh 102.9MHz

Result: FAILED, interference occurs  

==IKIM FM 102.9MHz Bkt Penara vs. Perlis FM 102.9MHz Padang Pauh== (roughly prediction)

== Suggestion==

1. Ikim FM increase its transmission power of Bukit Genting frequency 102.7MHz to 1kW or 2kW to cover Penang and Seberang Perai

2. Ikim FM launches 93.2MHz in Bukit Larut for Taiping and North Perak.

Red FM frequencies in Negeri Sembilan

Originally, Red FM broadcasted in Gunung Telapak Burok on FM 106.0MHz for Negeri Sembilan. In June 2009, because of Gunung Telapak Burok tower power supply was limited, Red FM was forced to close down its Negeri Sembilan frequency FM 106.0MHz. In addition, Negeri Sembilan is not really important location to Red FM, perhaps listeners in Negeri Sembilan can tune to alternative frequency although without 106.0MHz.

For Seremban, Red FM can be listened via FM 104.9MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali, meanwhile rest of areas are FM 98.9MHz from Gunung Ledang.
