Tahukah anda? Selain daripada negeri Perlis, RTM Perlis FM masih boleh didengari di Alor Setar, Kedah dan kawasan sekitarnya pada frekuensi FM 102.9MHz dari Pemancar Padang Pauh.
5 tahun lepas, saya mengunjungi Alor Setar untuk bercuti.
Di sini adalah rakaman video saya mendengar siaran Perlis FM 102.9MHz di Alor Setar yang dibuat pada tahun 2019.
Siaran Perlis FM 102.9MHz masih boleh didengari dengan isyarat sederhana di Alor Setar.
Selain itu, Perlis FM 102.9MHz juga boleh didengari di kawasan Kedah Utara seperti Jitra, Kuala Kedah, Changlun, Kodiang, Bukit Kayu Hitam, Kepala Batas, Simpang Empat, Ayer Hitam dan Langgar.
Perlis FM 102.9MHz masih boleh didengari dengan isyarat kurang jelas di kawasan Kedah Tengah seperti Pendang, Pokok Sena, Kota Sarang Semut dan Yan.
Sejak 5 Mei 2024, RTM Perlis FM memperbaharui segmen programnya dengan vibe baru.
* Hingaq Pagi: 6 pagi to 10 pagi
* Hangat Lit: 10 pagi to 2 petang
* Hemoi Hemoi: 2 petang to 8 malam
* COP 8-12: 8 malam to 12 tengah malam
Selain dari Alor Setar, saya pun pernah menerima siaran Perlis FM di Puncak Gunung Jerai dan sebahagian Pulau Pinang.
Here are my videos of tuning Singapore's Tamil radio station, Mediacorp Oli 96.8FM in Mersing District where is located at northeast region of Johor, Malaysia. I recorded the signal videos in 3 locations of Mersing District by following locations below:
1. Mersing (recorded on 31st December 2023)
Distance: 120km
2. Endau (recorded on 29th August 2022 & 31st December 2023)
Distance: 146km
3. Jemaluang (recorded on 28th April 2024)
Note that there is co-channel interference with RTM Pahang FM 96.8MHz from Tioman Island and adjacent channel interference with Sinar FM 96.9MHz from Gunung Telapak Buruk when tune Mediacorp Oli 96.8FM in Endau, Johor
Tahukah anda? RTM Negeri FM yang khususnya untuk Negeri Sembilan boleh didengari di sebahagian kawasan negeri Pahang pada frekuensi FM 92.6MHz (Gunung Telapak Buruk) dan FM 107.7MHz (Gunung Ledang).
Dari tahun 2016 ke 2023, saya telah membuat rakaman video isyarat RTM Negeri FM 92.6MHz dan 107.7MHz di semua kawasan negeri Pahang, iaitu:
Pada tahun 2024, Pulau Tioman ialah kawasan terbaru saya untuk merakam isyarat Negeri FM 92.6MHz dari Gunung Telapak Buruk di negeri Pahang.
Rakaman video isyarat Negeri FM 92.6MHz di Pulau Tioman dibuat di kawasan Kampung Tekek dan Jeti Tekek, manakala FM 107.7MHz dari Gunung Ledang tidak mempunyai isyarat Negeri FM di Pulau Tioman.
Tidak sama dengan Terengganu FM, isyarat Negeri FM 92.6MHz dari Gunung Telapak Buruk yang diterima di Pulau Tioman adalah pemancaran biasa, bukannya troposfera. Di Pulau Tioman, Negeri FM 92.6MHz boleh didengari secara lemah.
* Frekuensi: FM 92.6MHz
* Kuasa pemancar: 2kW
* Tempat pemancar: Gunung Telapak Buruk, Negeri Sembilan
* Tempat penerima: Kampung Tekek, Pulau Tioman, Pahang
Pada tahun 2022 dan 2023, saya menerima isyarat radio Pahang FM di beberapa kawasan negeri Johor, iaitu Endau (91.9MHz dari Kuala Rompin & 96.8MHz dari Pulau Tioman), Batu Anam (107.5MHz dari Gunung Ulu Kali), Segamat (107.5MHz dari Gunung Ulu Kali) dan Jementah (107.5MHz dari Gunung Ulu Kali).
Siaran Pahang FM sangat lemah didengari di negeri Johor seperti Endau, Batu Anam, Segamat dan Jementah, malah Pahang FM diganggu teruk oleh stesen radio yang dipancar dari Gunung Ledang (bagi Segamat, Batu Anam dan Jementah) dan Bukit Tinggi (bagi kawasan Endau).
Frekuensi FM 107.5MHz dari Gunung Ulu Kali diganggu oleh Melody FM 107.3MHz dari Gunung Ledang dan Negeri FM 107.7MHz dari Gunung Ledang di Batu Anam, Segamat dan Jementah, manakala FM 91.9MHz dari Kuala Rompin diganggu oleh Johor FM 92.1MHz dari Bukit Tinggi di Endau. Selain itu, Pahang FM 96.8MHz dari Pulau Tioman juga mempunyai gangguan frekuensi dengan Sinar FM 96.9MHz dari Gunung Telapak Buruk dan Mediacorp Oli 96.8FM dari Singapura di kawasan Endau.
Pagoh ialah kawasan terbaru saya untuk menerima isyarat Pahang FM 107.5MHz dari Gunung Ulu Kali di negeri Johor pada tahun 2024. Justeru, Pagoh juga ialah kawasan yang boleh menerima siaran Pahang FM 107.5MHz dengan lemah di Daerah Muar.
Pada 28hb April 2024, semasa perjalanan saya ke Mersing untuk Pulau Tioman, saya berhenti untuk bersarapan dalam kereta di R&R Pagoh Arah Selatan. Sebelum ini, saya pernah berkunjung ke negeri Johor, dan saya dapat mengesan isyarat Pahang FM 107.5MHz di kawasan Pagoh semasa perjalanan saya ke Yong Peng dan Kluang pada tahun 2023, tetapi saya tidak merakam video isyarat tersebut atas sebab keselamatan trafik.
Apabila saya bersinggah ke R&R Pagoh Arah Selatan, kebetulan masa saya berada di R&R Pagoh Arah Selatan ialah pukul 6 pagi dimana Pahang FM bermula siaran, saya bersarapan di dalam kereta sambil merakam video isyarat Pahang FM 107.5MHz di R&R Pagoh Arah Selatan.
Setelah Pahang FM menyiarkan lagu Negaraku dan Allah Selamatkan Sultan Kami (lagu Negeri Pahang), saya mula merakam video isyarat Pahang FM 107.5MHz apabila Pahang FM memulakan jingle stesen radionya serta bacaan doa permulaan siarannya (10-15 minit sebelum bacaan ayat suci Al-Quran pada 6:15 pagi) dalam kereta di R&R Pagoh Arah Selatan.
Pahang FM 107.5MHz dari Gunung Ulu Kali mempunyai gangguan frekuensi yang teruk oleh dua buah stesen radio dari Gunung Ledang seperti Melody FM 107.3MHz dan Negeri FM 107.7MHz di Pagoh, Johor. Di samping itu, semasa saya bertolak dari R&R Pagoh untuk meneruskan perjalanan saya ke Mersing, saya juga mengesan FM 107.5MHz mempunyai gangguan frekuensi sama antara Pahang FM (Gunung Ulu Kali) dan Bernama Radio (Gunung Pulai) di kawasan R&R Pagoh Arah Selatan.
Apabila saya mendengar siaran Pahang FM 107.5MHz sambil memandu dari R&R Pagoh, saya terdengar siaran Bernama Radio yang lemah dari Gunung Pulai di dekat stesen minyak Petron R&R Pagoh dan BHPetrol Pagoh sebelum saya memasuki lebuhraya PLUS.
Dari Pagoh ke Yong Peng di PLUS Highway, Pahang FM 107.5MHz dari Gunung Ulu Kali mempunyai co-channel interference (gangguan frekuensi sama) dengan Bernama Radio FM 107.5MHz dari Gunung Pulai, seperti saya mendengar di Tenang (kawasan antara Segamat dan Labis) dan Pekan Yong Peng.
Walaupun Pagoh ialah kawasan Daerah Muar yang boleh menerima siaran Pahang FM 107.5MHz dengan isyarat lemah dan lebih gangguan, tetapi saya percaya bahawa Pahang FM 107.5MHz tidak boleh diterima di kawasan berhampiran dengannya seperti Panchor, Bukit Pasir, Bukit Gambir, Gerisek dan Muar kerana kawasan ini tidak jauh dari Gunung Ledang, malah Pahang FM 107.5MHz "dikepit" oleh dua buah stesen radio yang dipancar dari Gunung Ledang iaitu Melody FM 107.3MHz dan Negeri FM 107.7MHz.
==Laporan penerimaan siaran Pahang FM 107.5MHz di Pagoh, Johor==
* Frekuensi: FM 107.5MHz
* Kuasa pemancar: 2kW
* Tempat pemancar: Gunung Ulu Kali, Pahang
* Tempat penerima: R&R Pagoh Arah Selatan, 84600 Pagoh, Johor
* Jarak: 183km
* Status: Lemah, dan mempunyai gangguan frekuensi dengan Bernama Radio FM 107.5MHz dari Gunung Pulai dan dua buah stesen radio dari Gunung Ledang (Melody FM 107.3MHz & Negeri FM 107.7MHz)
Di Pulau Tioman, penduduk dan pelancong boleh mengikuti siaran Pahang FM (96.8MHz) dan Johor FM (92.1MHz).
Pada 28hb April 2024, saya berada di Pulau Tioman untuk bercuti dan mengadakan aktiviti pemantauan isyarat radio dari pemancar jauh. (DXing). Semasa saya berada di Pulau Tioman, saya tertangkap isyarat RTM Terengganu FM pada frekuensi FM 90.7MHz dari Bukit Kemuning (Kemaman) dan FM 97.7MHz dari Bukit Bauk (Dungun).
Untuk makluman, isyarat Terengganu FM 90.7MHz dan 97.7MHz adalah pemancaran troposfera kerana saya tidak dapat menerima siaran ini pada 29hb April 2024. Di samping itu, siaran Terengganu FM 90.7MHz dan 97.7MHz bukan sentiasa boleh diterima di Pulau Tioman.
Semasa saya menerima siaran Terengganu FM di Pulau Tioman, frekuensi FM 90.7MHz lebih jelas daripada 97.7MHz. Video dirakam di Kampung Tekek pada 28hb April 2024.
==Penerimaan siaran Terengganu FM di Pulau Tioman, Pahang==
1. FM 90.7MHz Bukit Kemuning (0.5kW): 183km [JELAS]
2. FM 97.7MHz Bukit Bauk (1kW): 226km [LEMAH]
Secara keseluruhan, Pulau Tioman ialah kawasan ke-6 di Pahang dimana saya menerima siaran Terengganu FM dengan melalui platform frekuensi.
==Senarai kawasan negeri Pahang yang saya mendengar siaran Terengganu FM==
1. Bukit Fraser - 88.7MHz dari Bukit Besar (5hb Jun 2022)

Videos were recorded at Kampung Tekek from 28th to 29th April 2024. The residents and tourists in Pulau Tioman can listen to RTM Pahang FM on the frequency FM 96.8MHz, transmitted from TM Pulau Tioman near Condotel (between Tekek and Paya).
From 28th to 30th April 2024, I went to Tioman Island in Pahang state for holiday and radio DXing. Tioman is an island located at southeast Pahang state, 45km adjacent to Tanjung Gemuk and Mersing.
Many people may not realize the radio stations availability in Tioman Island via frequency transmission platform. Here are the full list of the radio stations in Tioman Island by local, semi-local and distant transmitters with the videos.

4. Shortwave radio: RTM Wai FM SW 11665kHz (264km from RTM Kajang)
To those Sarawakians who travel to Pulau Tioman, Wai FM is available on SW 11665kHz, transmitted from RTM Kajang. Different from Wai FM Iban from Kuching, because SW 11665kHz relays non-Iban language broadcast such as Radio Tau Limbang FM (Lun Bawang), Radio Kayan and Talidio Kenyah from 12pm to 6pm (local time).
Kepada semua penduduk dan pelancong yang berada di Pulau Tioman, siaran Pahang FM kini boleh didengari di Pulau Tioman pada frekuensi FM 96.8MHz.
Untuk makluman, frekuensi Pahang FM 96.8MHz dipancar dari tempat pemancar Pulau Tioman yang terletak di antara Kampung Tekek dan Kampung Paya.
Sebelum Pahang FM melancarkan pemancar Pulau Tioman (96.8MHz) pada tahun 2017, siaran Pahang FM cuma boleh diterima pada frekuensi FM 95.5MHz dari Bukit Sulai atau FM 107.5MHz dari Gunung Ulu Kali yang sangat lemah di Pulau Tioman.
Sejak tahun 2017, penduduk dan pelancong di Pulau Tioman boleh mengikuti siaran Pahang FM pada frekuensi FM 96.8MHz.
From 2021 to 2023, several Sarawak assemblymen suggested that Belaga should be upgraded from district to division. Currently Belaga is a district under Kapit Division, meanwhile Sungai Asap is sub-district of Belaga district. If Belaga becomes a division, it will be the 13th and latest Sarawak division.
For radio broadcast, currently RTM Sibu FM operates in Belaga on the frequency FM 103.0MHz. If Belaga is the 13th division of Sarawak, RTM can launch its 35th radio station, known as "Belaga FM" to replace Sibu FM 103.0MHz in Belaga.
The radio program switch from Sibu FM to "Belaga FM" on FM 103.0MHz in Belaga, Sarawak will allow RTM Belaga to deliver more local content to the community there, compare to current Sibu FM.
Belaga is the home of Kayan and Kenyah people, meanwhile RTM has Kayan and Kenyah radio broadcasts in Miri Division. If Belaga FM is launched officially, RTM can relay Radio Kayan and Talidio Kenyah on FM 103.0MHz in Belaga, this can cater more Kayan and Kenyah listeners.
As RTM's so-called East Malaysia targeted TV channel "TV Okey" does not have news in Kayan and Kenyah language, therefore radio becomes an important medium to the community of Kayan and Kenyah people, but RTM has to consider .
RTM currently operates 34 radio stations nationwide. If Belaga FM is launched in conjunction with the upgrade level of Belaga from district to division in Sarawak, so Belaga FM becomes 35th and the latest RTM radio station.
==Suggestion of broadcast airtime of Belaga FM==
As Belaga is majority of indigenous people, I strongly suggest that Belaga FM to become multi-indigenous languages radio station by relaying several programs from Wai FM Iban Kuching, Radio Kayan and Talidio Kenyah with following broadcast hours below:
0000-0900 hours: Wai FM Iban from Kuching
0900-1200 hours: Talidio Kenyah (Kenyah language)
1200-1800 hours: Radio Kayan Miri FM (Kayan language)
1800-0000 hours: Wai FM Iban from Kuching
The contra of the suggested broadcast airtime of Talidio Kenyah on Belaga FM is the schedule does not match with Miri FM broadcast airtime, unless Wai FM Bidayuh/Kayan launches Miri frequency, so Talidio Kenyah can join the airtime of Miri FM with Belaga FM simultaneously.
==Suggestion of Belaga FM 103.0MHz transmission parameter==
Currently, the FM 103.0MHz operates low power at 0.1kW in Belaga, Sarawak. To reach more coverage, including Sungai Asap, I suggest "Belaga FM" to increase its transmission power to 0.5kW.
RTM can launch a gap filler transmitter for "Belaga FM" if Sungai Asap cannot receive the signal clearly on FM 103.0MHz, despite transmission power is increased to 0.5kW.
With the launch of "Belaga FM", RTM Sarawak will have 6 division radio stations in Sarawak, meanwhile 8 Sarawak only radio stations in the region.
- Sarawak FM
- Red FM
- Sibu FM
- Sri Aman FM
- Belaga FM (replacing Sibu FM 103.0MHz in Belaga)
- Miri FM
- Bintulu FM
- Limbang FM
About the launch of "Belaga FM", it is the matter of time of RTM launches this radio station subject to the future of the administrative status of Belaga from district to division by Sarawak government.
During my Sarawak trip last week, I also went to Miri by departing from Bintulu as my day trip on 11th April 2024 in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidilfitri holiday.
Miri was my another core region for radio DXing. From Bintulu to Miri, I dropped by Batu Niah and Bekenu before reaching Miri city.
Batu Niah was my first stop for radio DXing in Miri Division. In Batu Niah, I could receive two RTM local radio stations such as Miri FM (95.1MHz & 95.7MHz) and Bintulu FM (97.5MHz), however I tuned Limbang FM there via FM 94.5MHz from Bukit Sagan Rudang.
Miri FM was the clearest radio station in Batu Niah on 95.1MHz (Bukit TT844 Suai) and 95.7MHz (Bukit Lambir), meanwhile Bintulu FM 97.5MHz (Bukit Setiam) signal was quite weak there.
Limbang FM signal could be only detected with very mild signal via FM 94.5MHz from Bukit Sagan Rudang which covers Mendamit, meanwhile FM 104.9MHz from Bukit Mas has no signal.
Alongside Sarawak FM 100.0MHz which is transmitted from Bukit Sagan Rudang, RTM Limbang FM 94.5MHz was also the furthest radio station tuned in Batu Niah, Sarawak.
Limbang FM also relays Wai FM Iban from 0000-0900 hours, then 1800-0000 hours, meanwhile it airs local programs from 0900-1800 hours by following languages below:
1. Malay: 0900-1200 hours
2. Lun Bawang: 1200-1500 hours
3. Bisaya: 1500-1800 hours
- Frequency: FM 94.5MHz
- Power: 0.1kW
- Transmitter site: Bukit Sagan Rudang, Limbang Division, Sarawak
- Receiving site: Batu Niah, Miri Division, Sarawak
In Miri, Brunei radio stations are available via FM frequency transmission, Radio Televisyen Brunei stations and Kristal FM are moderately clear there, meanwhile Seria based BFBS Radio are the weakest Brunei radio stations in Miri, Sarawak because they operate at low power transmission.
BFBS Radio in Brunei operates on FM 101.7MHz in English and FM 89.5MHz in Nepali.
Here are the videos of tuning BFBS Radio Brunei FM 101.7MHz and BFBS Radio Gurkha FM 89.5MHz in Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia where I recorded on 11th April 2024 during Hari Raya Aidilfitri holiday.
By conducting overall coverage check of BFBS Radio in Miri, many areas have no signal to receive these radio stations. In fact, BFBS Radio is only clear in Kuala Baram and Lutong where are located near Brunei border.
It is almost 9 years of TEA FM broadcasts in Sarawak and Sabah since August 2015.
TEA FM is a Sabah and Sarawak radio station, broadcasts in Chinese and English. It targets 20-40 years old listeners in Sabah and Sarawak.
TEA FM broadcasts in Kuching on FM 102.7MHz, Kota Kinabalu on FM 102.8MHz and Sibu on FM 100.7MHz. From August 2015 until today, TEA FM does not have coverage expansion to other Sarawak towns such as Bintulu and Miri.
While Astro Radio such as MY FM, Hitz FM, Era FM, Sinar FM and Melody FM have Miri frequency, but I feel very curious of Tea FM doesn't expand coverage in Miri, also Bintulu.
Back to 2021, I was used to drop my proposal to launch TEA FM in Bintulu and Miri, but I did not get any response from the radio station.
Why does TEA FM have no Bintulu and Miri frequencies?
1. No commercial value to TEA FM in Bintulu and Miri as these areas don't meet the radio station branding target.
2. In Bintulu and Miri, the Chinese and English speaking youngsters are lesser than Kuching and Sibu. As TEA FM targets 20-40 years old listeners, Bintulu and Miri are not the target locations to TEA FM.
Recently, I visited Miri and Bintulu, Chinese youngsters there are not much as Kuching.
Inversely, if Bintulu and Miri have the youngsters as much as Kuching and Sibu, but TEA FM is unable to expand coverage there due to MCMC's suspension of new frequency application for FM radio since 2019.
Radio broadcast nowadays consists new technology and on-demand platform such as podcast, online streaming and YouTube LIVE streaming, alongside linear platform like FM radio frequency transmission.
Shortwave radio broadcast is an older radio technology than FM radio and newer DAB+/DRM. Although it is not relevant for urban and developed areas due to growing of online streaming and podcast, but shortwave radio is still an essential for the rural and remote areas where FM radio cannot be accessed.
RTM Wai FM also operates on shortwave frequency SW 11665kHz, transmitted from RTM Kajang and it beams at 93 degree angle, mainly targets Sarawak state.
Wai FM SW 11665kHz is different from Wai FM Iban in Kuching because it is a hybrid radio station to relay different languages programs from Limbang and Miri. From what I observe, from 12pm to 6pm, Wai FM SW 11665kHz does not air Iban program, instead Radio Tau Limbang FM in Lun Bawang language from 12pm to 3pm, then Radio Kayan Miri FM in Kayan language from 3pm to 5pm and Talidio Kenyah in Kenyah language from 5pm to 6pm.
Wai FM SW 11665kHz is still a need actually because it needs to cover Sarawak rural areas where FM radio has no coverage.
There are many Kenyah and Kayan people in Sarawak rural areas like Marudi District of Miri Division and Belaga District of Kapit Division, but Radio Kayan and Talidio Kenyah are not available in Belaga on Sibu FM 103.0MHz, then Marudi District. So, the listeners have to tune on either SW 11665kHz, Astro CH870 or RTM Klik or Facebook LIVE.
For those areas in Belaga and Marudi where have no internet coverage, SW 11665kHz becomes important platform there.
Miri FM currently broadcasts on the frequency FM 95.7MHz/98.0MHz for Miri, and FM 95.1MHz for Niah and Suai, however it does not have gap filler transmitters in Marudi and Long Lama like Sarawak FM. As Miri FM uses transponder in RTM Miri on FM 98.0MHz to send signal from studio to Bukit Lambir transmitter (95.7MHz). Technically, due to the terrains, I don't think Miri FM can send signal feed from RTM Miri and Bukit Lambir to Long Lama via microwave link and transponder. Hence, Miri FM becomes unavailable in Long Lama via frequency platform. So, the listeners in Long Lama have to tune via SW 11665kHz.
RTM gap filler transmitters (Sarawak FM and Nasional FM) in Marudi and Long Lama are linking signal via C-band satellite.
On 11th April 2024, I also did radio signal aircheck of Wai FM SW 11665kHz in Miri town, Sarawak as part of coverage availability in Miri Division. Yes, Wai FM SW 11665kHz is available in Miri town, therefore it means that radio listeners in Long Lama can access this shortwave radio station which consists Radio Kayan and Talidio Kenyah program by tuning on SW 11665kHz.
Miri FM can still be tuned in Marudi via FM 95.7MHz from Bukit Lambir, meanwhile its radio signal is not clear in Long Lama and Miri FM 95.7MHz is having interference noise of Nasional FM 95.5MHz in Long Lama because Nasional FM operates in Long Lama on 95.5MHz, but I'm not sure whether RTM Nasional FM changes its Long Lama frequency or not due to interference to Miri FM 95.7MHz there, despite Nasional FM 95.5MHz operates at low power transmission as much as 0.1kW in Long Lama.
Despite shortwave radio signal propagation and audio quality are not good as FM radio, in order to reach Long Lama, I strongly recommend RTM Miri FM to add gap filler transmitters in Long Lama, so the listeners can tune Miri FM with better audio quality via frequency transmission.
In Batu Niah, Sarawak FM 88.1MHz is the clearest frequency among all.
Sarawak FM does not have its gap filler transmitter in Suai, Sarawak like Miri FM 95.1MHz and Nasional FM 97.1MHz which both are transmitted from Bukit TT844, but the listeners have to tune to Sarawak FM in Suai via FM 88.1MHz Bukit Lambir or FM 93.7MHz Bukti Setiam.
