從2025年1月起, 關丹聽眾可能無法通過頻率88.1來收聽Eight FM, 因為RTM Pahang FM將為其Muadzam Shah頻率88.0MHz發射系統進行升級.

兩年前, Eight FM把它的關丹頻率100.4轉讓給Molek FM, 但在關丹部分地區的聽眾還可以通過頻率88.1繼續收聽Eight FM.

今天RTM Pahang FM在臉書發佈文告, 指其三個發射站的廣播會因為發射系統升級而受到干擾, 涉及發射站有Bukit Sembilan, Bukit Sulai和Bukit Senggora.

 

RTM Pahang FM會從這個月到2025年1月初會為這三個發射站進行系統升級.

 

* 慕亞山沙 Bukit Sembilan 88.0MHz (2024年12月9日至13日)

* 甘孟Bukit Sulai 95.5MHz (2024年19日至24日)

* 馬蘭Bukit Senggora 92.0MHz (2025年1月2日至6日)

 

對於RTM Pahang FM 88.0MHz Bukit Sembilan廣播發射站, 若Pahang FM已經為其發射站的傳輸系統進行升級後, 從2024年12月中開始, Eight FM 88.1MHz在關丹接收的訊號可能會受到這家電台干擾, 因為Bukit Sembilan的訊號可以傳輸到關丹和北根一帶, 所以在這兩個地方通過88.1收聽Eight FM的聽眾會聽到Pahang FM 88.0的雜音, 除非Pahang FM的Bukit Sembilan發射站不再用88.0MHz.

 

從2025年1月起, 關丹聽眾可能無法通過雪隆區頻率88.1來收聽Eight FM, 所以收聽方式只剩下Audio+手機應用程序和YouTube直播.

Starting from January 2025, Eight FM may not be available in Kuantan, Pahang anymore on the frequency 88.1MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali due to transmission system upgrade of Pahang FM 88.0MHz in Bukit Sembilan, but the listeners can tune via Audio+ app or YouTube LIVE streaming.

2 years ago, Eight FM let go its Kuantan frequency 100.4MHz to Molek FM, but the listeners can continue listening to this radio station in Kuantan by tuning the frequency 88.1MHz, transmitted from Gunung Ulu Kali, the radio reception is moderate to weak.

 

Today on 4th December 2024, RTM Pahang FM announces that it will have broadcast interruption in Bukit Sembilan (88.0MHz), Bukit Sulai (95.5MHz) and Bukit Senggora (92.0MHz) from this month until early of January 2025. 

RTM Pahang FM will renew and upgrade its transmission system in these following locations below:

1. Bukit Sembilan, Muadzam Shah on 88.0MHz (9th till 13th December 2024)

2. Bukit Sulai, Gambang on 95.5MHz (19th till 24th December 2024)

3. Bukit Senggora, Maran on 92.0MHz (2nd till 6th January 2024)

 

Generally Pahang FM 88.0MHz Bukit Sembilan transmission can overspill to Kuantan, causing Eight FM 88.1MHz will be interfered.

 

Currently RTM Pahang FM 88.0MHz Bukit Sembilan radio signal cannot be detected in Kuantan as its system is having problem, so Eight FM 88.1MHz can be tuned in part of Kuantan moderately without interference.

 

Once after RTM Pahang FM 88.0MHz Bukit Sembilan transmitter is upgraded, Eight FM 88.1MHz radio signal from Gunung Ulu Kali will have interference from Pahang FM in Kuantan and Pekan, unless RTM Pahang FM Muadzam Shah frequency is changed.

 

Starting from January 2025, Kuantan listeners may not be able to tune Eight FM alternatively via 88.1MHz due to the interference of Pahang FM 88.0MHz Bukit Sembilan transmitter, so the listeners can only tune Eight FM in Kuantan digitally such as Audio+ app and YouTube LIVE streaming, unless Pahang FM 88.0MHz is using same low power in Bukit Sembilan and does not overspill signal to Kuantan.

Selama is my very first location to tune RTM Perlis FM 102.9MHz in Perak state.

I went to Penang last week for radio DXing activity and holiday vacation. Before reaching Butterworth in Penang, I dropped by Selama, Perak to expand my radio DXing content, the main purpose to revisit Selama, Perak was to check IKIM FM 89.0MHz/102.7MHz and Perak FM 102.9MHz radio signal.

In Selama, Perak, initially I only planned to DX Perak FM 102.9MHz signal from Lawin transmitter, but the signal on the frequency ended up with Perlis FM surprisingly. In the past years, I only caught Perlis FM 102.9MHz signal in Alor Setar (Kedah) and some Penang areas (Penang Hill and Tanjung Bungah), but it was my very first time to receive RTM Perlis FM 102.9MHz radio signal in Perak in my radio DXing history.

The video of tuning Perlis FM 102.9MHz from Padang Pauh transmitter was recorded at opposite of SJK (C) Chi Sheng 1 (Chinese junior school) in Selama town, Perak.

 Perak FM yang dipancar dari Lawin, tetapi saya menerima siaran Perlis FM yang lemah di Selama, Perak.

* Frequency: FM 102.9MHz

* Power: 2kW

* Transmitter site: RTM Padang Pauh, Kangar, Perlis

* Receiving site: Selama, Perak

* Distance: 151km

After recording the radio signal video of Perlis FM 102.9MHz in Selama town, Perak, I drove to Caltex Selama petrol station and had brunch at Family Mart convenience store, but I continued monitoring the radio signal of Perlis FM 102.9MHz. At Caltex Selama, Perlis FM 102.9MHz had co-channel interference with Perak FM 102.9MHz Lawin transmitter when I was looking for the parking before going to Family Mart for brunch.

In my radio DXing history, Selama is my very first location to tune RTM Perlis FM 102.9MHz in Perak state where I never been done before. Previously, I attempted to catch Perlis FM 102.9MHz radio signal in Tanjung Piandang, Kuala Kurau and Parit Buntar on 30th August 2020, but no signal was heard.

IKIM FM Balik Pulau frequency 102.7MHz from Bukit Genting transmitter also covers Bandar Baharu and Selama, Kedah where 89.0MHz Gunung Jerai signal is less clear.

 

IKIM FM has Balik Pulau tuning frequency on FM 102.7MHz, transmitted from Bukit Genting in Southwest Penang Island with 500W transmitter power. 

 

The main coverage of IKIM FM 102.7MHz Bukit Genting transmitter is Balik Pulau and Teluk Kumbar in Penang Island where 89.0MHz Gunung Jerai transmitter cannot be tuned there.

 

Other than Balik Pulau and Teluk Kumbar, IKIM FM 102.7MHz Bukit Genting transmitter also covers Bandar Baharu District, Kedah where several areas cannot receive the signal from Gunung Jerai on 89.0MHz clearly.

 

During my departure from Butterworth to Kuala Lumpur on 27th November 2024, I passed through Bandar Baharu, Kedah and dropped by Parit Buntar, Perak for breakfast.

 

On PLUS Highway from Nibong Tebal to Bandar Baharu toll exit, IKIM FM 89.0MHz Gunung Jerai signal becomes weak and it has adjacent channel interference noise with GoXUAN FM 88.9MHz Gunung Ulu Kali transmitter in some areas, meanwhile FM 102.7MHz from Bukit Genting is clear there.

 

From Bandar Baharu toll exit to Parit Buntar town, I continued to monitor IKIM FM 89.0MHz and 102.7MHz signals all the way. In Bandar Baharu, IKIM FM 89.0MHz is not clear as 102.7MHz overall, meanwhile IKIM FM is tuned clearly on 102.7MHz in Selama, Kedah.

 

Selama is located in two different states, Perak and Kedah. In Perak's Selama, IKIM FM 89.0MHz is clearer than 102.7MHz, but inversely IKIM FM 102.7MHz is clearer than 89.0MHz in Kedah's Selama.

 

The radio reception of IKIM FM 89.0MHz in Kedah's Selama is weak, compare to Perak's Selama, but the listeners in Kedah's Selama can tune clearly on 102.7MHz.

 

Overall, IKIM FM 102.7MHz Bukit Genting transmitter also covers the blind spot coverage of its Gunung Jerai transmitter 89.0MHz in Bandar Baharu, Lubuk Buntar and Selama, Kedah. 

 

Sample radio reception videos of IKIM FM 89.0MHz/102.7MHz tuned in Parit Buntar (Perak) and Selama (Perak) where are located not far from Bandar Baharu District, Kedah.

 

==Coverage of IKIM FM 102.7MHz Bukit Genting transmitter==

1. Balik Pulau, Penang

2. Teluk Kumbar, Penang

3. Bayan Lepas, Penang (89.0MHz is clearer there)

4. Parit Buntar, Perak (89.0MHz is clearer there)

5. Tanjung Piandang, Perak (89.0MHz is clearer there)

6. Bandar Baharu, Kedah

7. Selama, Kedah 

8. Nibong Tebal, Penang (89.0MHz is clearer there) 

 

Bandar Baharu, Kedah is the blind spot coverage of IKIM FM 89.0MHz Gunung Jerai transmitter, hence the listeners can tune on 102.7MHz Bukit Genting transmitter in this location.

Mutiara FM and Nasional FM are interfering each other in Georgetown and Butterworth, but no complains from the listeners.

If you are listening to a radio station on FM 93.9MHz in Georgetown, Butterworth, Bukit Mertajam, Seberang Jaya, Permatang Pauh and most of Penang areas, you will hear the co-channel interference of two different radio stations.

In fact, FM 93.9MHz is used by two different radio stations for different broadcast coverage. At first, Mutiara FM uses this frequency in Gunung Jerai to cover northern part of Penang Island, covering from Tanjung Bungah to Teluk Bahang where 95.7MHz Bukit Penara transmitter cannot be tuned there, next Nasional FM is also using FM 93.9MHz in Bukit Penara and Bukit Genting for Paya Terubong and Balik Pulau respectively to cover the blindspot coverage of FM 100.5MHz Gunung Jerai transmitter.

Both radio stations are using low power transmitters, but different coverage.

* Mutiara FM 93.9MHz Gunung Jerai at 0.1kW power (Tanjung Bungah, Batu Ferringhi, Teluk Bahang)

* Nasional FM 93.9MHz Bukit Penara at 0.25kW power (Paya Terubong & Ayer Itam)

* Nasional FM 93.9MHz Bukit Genting at 0.1kW power (Balik Pulau & Teluk Kumbar)

Mutiara FM 93.9MHz Gunung Jerai has co-channel interference with Nasional FM in most of Penang areas, but the signal of Nasional FM is actually transmitted from Bukit Penara, not Bukit Genting actually. If you are tuning FM 93.9MHz at Penang Bridge, the co-channel interference happens between Mutiara FM from Gunung Jerai and  Nasional FM from Bukit Penara.

The co-channel interference on 93.9MHz does not affect the listeners because both radio stations have clearer frequencies in affected areas of FM 93.9MHz.

 

When I was in Butterworth to tune my radio on FM 93.9MHz, Mutiara FM and Nasional FM were interfering each other, but I could tune them on other clearer frequencies. 

 

The video was recorded on 26th November 2024 at 6am.

Nasional FM is tuned on 100.5MHz from Gunung Jerai, meanwhile Mutiara FM is tuned on 95.7MHz from Bukit Penara.

Melody FM 103.0MHz是檳城喬治市接收到最遠的電台

在檳城喬治市, Melody FM的收聽頻率是從吉打日萊峰發射的106.5MHz, 另外其太平頻率104.9MHz還可以收到, 只不過線路不是很強, 可是Melody FM雪隆區頻率103.0MHz果然可以在檳城喬治市聽到隱隱約約的訊號.

 

2024年11月26日, 我來到喬治市遊玩和享有當地美食, 但主要活動是探測遠距離電台訊號, 同時我也探測RTM國營玻璃市州分台Perlis FM 102.9MHz訊號. 我在檳城喬治市無意中探測到Melody FM 103.0MHz的訊號, 當時我在喬治市街頭正在探測RTM Perlis FM 102.9MHz訊號, 我在該頻率突然聽到隱隱約約的華語廣播, 之後我把收音機頻率調去103.0MHz, 結果103.0MHz是Melody FM DJ的聲音.

 

接收地點很靠近光大大廈和1st Avenue購物中心. 我就趁Melody FM DJ在空中主持時馬上錄製103.0的訊號短片, 並把短片上載至YouTube給大家觀看.

 

整體上RTM Perlis FM 102.9MHz和遠方的Melody FM 103.0MHz在檳城喬治市和牛汝莪互相干擾, 所以不管你在這兩個地區探測102.9和103.0電台訊號, 你會檢測到兩者電台互相干擾.

 

Melody FM雪隆區頻率103.0MHz是從彭亨雲頂高原的Gunung Ulu Kali山發射, 在檳城喬治市的收聽接收距離是274公里. 所以Melody FM 103.0MHz成為檳城喬治市接收到最遠的廣播電台, 它以接收距離而"擊敗'了泰國電台.

Thailand radio stations tuned in Penang, Malaysia (2024 Edition)

 

There are several locations in Penang where I can receive Thailand radio stations moderately and weakly. Since 2015, I managed to catch Thailand radio stations in Penang, then 2017 and 2019.

During my visit in Penang few days ago, I also monitored Thailand radio stations in Penang from 24th to 27th November 2024, covering various locations such as Butterworth, Teluk Bahang, Tanjung Bungah, Georgetown and Penaga. Here are the latest videos of tuning Thailand radio stations in Penang by stations and locations:

 

1. Radio Thailand Yala FM 92.0MHz in Georgetown

 

2. Radio Thailand Songkhla FM 89.5MHz in Georgetown

 

3. Radio Thailand Songkhla FM 89.5MHz at Penang Bridge in Gelugor

8. Radio Thailand Songkhla FM 89.5MHz in Butterworth

 

9. Radio Thailand Songkhla FM 89.5MHz at Sungai Dua interchange in Butterworth

Overall Radio Thailand Yala FM 92.0MHz and 94.25MHz dominate more coverage than other Thailand radio stations in Penang Island, meanwhile Radio Thailand Songkhla FM 89.5MHz is the only available Thailand radio station in Butterworth with weak signal.

 

The clearest locations to tune Radio Thailand Yala FM 92.0MHz in Penang are Tanjung Bungah and Gurney.

Alongside Thailand FM radio stations, I also managed to receive two Thailand AM radio stations in Butterworth, Penang before evening.

* Radio Thailand Phuket AM 1062kHz

* Voice of Navy 3 Phuket AM 1458kHz

BFM 89.9 is still available in Central Perak with moderate to weak signal.

Do you know? Alongside South Perak, actually BFM 89.9 is still available in at least 10 locations of Central Perak.

In Central Perak, BFM 89.9 can be tuned moderately and weakly. From 2018 to 2024, I have recorded the radio signal monitoring videos of BFM 89.9 in various locations of Central Perak.

Central Perak covers the districts of Kuala Kangsar, Manjung, Perak Tengah, Kinta and Kampar.

Adjacent channel interference noise of Traxx FM 90.1MHz Gunung Kledang transmitter can be heard when tune BFM 89.9 in Batu Gajah, Parit, Seri Iskandar, Lahat, Malim Nawar, Manong and Teronoh.

RTM Perak FM masih boleh diterima di Pulau Pinang dan sebahagian Kedah pada frekuensi FM 104.1MHz yang dipancar dari Bukit Larut.

 

RTM Perak FM yang khususnya untuk negeri Perak, stesen radio ini boleh didengari di sebahagian Selangor (95.6MHz Gunung Kledang) dan Cameron Highlands, Pahang (94.7MHz Gunung Brinchang). Di Pulau Pinang dan sebahagian kawasan negeri Kedah, Perak FM masih boleh diterima siarannya pada frekuensi FM 104.1MHz yang dipancar dari Bukit Larut.

Dari 24hb sehingga 26hb November 2024, saya berada di Pulau Pinang, Kedah dan Perlis.

Terdapat rakaman video saya menerima siaran RTM Perak FM 104.1MHz di Pulau Pinang dan sebahagian negeri Kedah pada 24hb, 25hb dan 26hb November 2024. Kuasa pemancar Perak FM 104.1MHz ialah 0.25kW.

1. Georgetown, Pulau Pinang

3. Tanjung Bungah, Pulau Pinang

4. Penaga, Pulau Pinang

5. Kota Kuala Muda, Kedah

6. Gurun & Sungai Petani, Kedah

7. Pendang, Kedah

8. Jitra, Kedah

Isyarat radio Perak FM adalah sederhana di Pulau Pinang.

Sebelum ini, saya pernah menerima siaran Perak FM 104.1MHz di Alor Setar, Kedah pada tahun 2019.

 

Di kawasan negeri Perlis, saya hanya menerima siaran Perak FM 104.1MHz di Arau sahaja, tiada isyarat didengari di Kangar dan Padang Besar.

Penerimaan siaran RTM Langkawi FM 104.8MHz (Gunung Raya) di Perlis, Kedah dan Pulau Pinang [EDISI 2024]

 

Di luar Pulau Langkawi, siaran RTM Langkawi FM 104.8MHz yang dipancar dari Gunung Raya masih boleh didengari dengan jelas di Perlis, Kedah Utara dan sebahagian kecil Pulau Pinang.

Dari Kangar ke Butterworth, siaran Langkawi FM 104.8MHz boleh didengari dengan jelas sehingga Gurun. Gangguan frekuensi dengan Melody FM 104.9MHz yang dipancar dari Bukit Larut bermula di Sungai Petani, Kedah.

Di Pulau Pinang, terdapat kawasan boleh menerima siaran Langkawi FM 104.8MHz dengan isyarat jelas tanpa gangguan frekuensi dengan Melody FM 104.9MHz (Bukit Larut) seperti Batu Ferringhi dan Teluk Bahang. Langkawi FM 104.8MHz mempunyai gangguan isyarat dengan Melody FM 104.9MHz berlaku di Butterworth, Juru, Permatang Pauh, Gelugor, Seberang Jaya, Bukit Mertajam, Tanjung Bungah dan Georgetown.

Terdapat video penerimaan siaran Langkawi FM 104.8MHz yang saya rakam di tiga buah negeri wilayah utara pada 25hb dan 26hb November 2024.

1. Kangar, Perlis

2. Arau, Perlis

3. Padang Besar, Perlis

4. Alor Setar, Kedah

5. Pendang, Kedah

6. Teluk Bahang, Pulau Pinang 

7. Batu Ferringhi, Pulau Pinang

8. Butterworth, Pulau Pinang

Fly FM radio reception in Perlis on 99.1MHz (TX_Alor Setar Tower)

 

Fly FM has Alor Setar frequency on 99.1MHz, launched since 2007, currently it is transmitted from Alor Setar Tower. It is the only English radio station which does not transmit from Gunung Jerai transmission tower like other radio stations such as Hitz FM, Mix FM, Lite FM and Traxx FM due to unavailable frequencies in Gunung Jerai. 

 

While Hitz FM 92.8MHz, Mix FM 91.0MHz, Lite FM 104.4MHz and Traxx FM 98.7MHz are receivable clearly in large part of Perlis areas, but Fly FM 99.1MHz cannot be tuned in Perlis state clearly like other radio stations because Fly FM is transmitted from Alor Setar Tower with low power transmitter as much as 0.25kW only.

From Alor Setar to Kangar and Arau, Fly FM 99.1MHz can be only tuned clearly until Kodiang in Kedah actually, then signal becomes weak in Arau.

 

In Perlis, I recorded the radio reception videos of Fly FM 99.1MHz in 4 locations.

 

1. Arau

 

2. Kangar

 

3. Beseri

 

4. Padang Besar

 

Among these 4 locations of Perlis state, Arau is the only clearest coverage of Fly FM 99.1MHz, meanwhile Kangar is the most difficult location to tune to Fly FM on 99.1MHz, even the radio reception of Fly FM in Beseri is slightly clearer than Kangar and Padang Besar.

 

Fly FM 99.1MHz has no signal in Padang Besar town. During my way from Padang Besar to Changlun, Fly FM 99.1MHz becomes clear again in FELDA Chuping, Perlis. 

In addition, I also recorded the radio reception videos of its sister station, Kool 101 in Perlis state on the frequency FM 107.3MHz which is also transmitted from Alor Setar Tower with low power transmitter 0.25kW.

 

Compare both radio stations, Fly FM 99.1MHz signal is slightly clearer than Kool 101 FM 107.3MHz in Perlis state. In Kangar, Kool 101 FM 107.3MHz is interfered by Thailand's radio station PSU Radio Pattani FM 107.25MHz.

 

By conducting overall radio signal monitoring in Perlis, currently Arau and Kuala Perlis are the only best listening coverage of Fly FM and Kool 101.

==Radio reception of Fly FM 99.1MHz & Kool 101 FM 107.3MHz in Perlis (from best to worst)==

1. Arau

2. Beseri (Fly FM 99.1MHz only)

3. Kangar & Padang Besar (mostly no signal)

RTM Mutiara FM masih boleh didengari di kawasan Kedah Utara (Jitra) dan sebahagian negeri Perlis dengan isyarat lemah pada frekuensi FM 93.9MHz yang dipancar dari Gunung Jerai

 

Radio RTM Pulau Pinang, Mutiara FM mempunyai pemancar kuasa rendah di Gunung Jerai pada frekuensi FM 93.9MHz yang khususnya meliputi Teluk Bahang, Batu Ferringhi dan Tanjung Bungah dimana kawasan ini tidak dapat menerima isyarat Mutiara FM 95.7MHz dari Bukit Penara, stesen radio ini boleh didengari pada sebahagian besar negeri Kedah, juga Taiping di negeri Perak.

Walaupun pemancar RTM Mutiara FM di Gunung Jerai cuma memancar ke arah Pulau Pinang Utara sahaja, tetapi stesen radio ini masih boleh didengari dengan isyarat kurang jelas di Kedah Utara (Jitra) dan beberapa kawasan negeri Perlis.

Pada 25hb November 2024, saya merakam video isyarat RTM Mutiara FM 93.9MHz (Gunung Jerai) di Jitra, Kedah dan 2 buah kawasan negeri Perlis, iaitu Kangar dan Arau. Ketiga-tiga kawasan masih boleh menerima siaran Mutiara FM 93.9MHz tanpa gangguan oleh siaran radio Thailand 94FM Club dari Hatyai.

 

* Jitra, Kedah

 

* Arau, Perlis

 

* Kangar, Perlis

 

Di negeri Perlis, siaran Mutiara FM 93.9MHz mula diganggu oleh 94FM Club di Beseri semasa perjalanan dari Kangar ke Padang Besar. Selain itu, di bahagian negeri Kedah, Mutiara FM 93.9MHz juga diganggu oleh 94FM Club.

Mutiara FM 93.9MHz masih boleh didengari di Arau dan Kangar, tetapi tiada isyarat boleh diterima di Padang Besar, Kaki Bukit dan Wang Kelian.

Secara keseluruhan, RTM Mutiara FM boleh didengari di negeri ini tersebut pada frekuensi bawah berikut:

1. Seluruh negeri Pulau Pinang (95.7MHz Bukit Penara/93.9MHz Gunung Jerai/90.9MHz Bukit Genting)

2. Kedah Tengah, Kedah Utara dan sebahagian negeri Perlis (93.9MHz Gunung Jerai)

3. Perak Utara (95.7MHz Bukit Penara/93.9MHz Gunung Jerai)
