Pusa is the best town in Betong Division, Sarawak to tune Kuching radio stations clearly via frequency transmission.

 

Pusa is a small town in Betong Division, Sarawak, it is located between Saratok and Debak, but near to Batang Saribas and the coast.

Compare with other areas in Betong Division such as Roban, Saratok, Debak, Kabong, Spaoh and Betong, actually Pusa is the best location in Betong Division, Sarawak where the listeners can tune several Kuching radio stations clearly from Gunung Serapi and Bukit Djin via frequency transmission.

Today on 27th July 2025, the Sarawak radio DXer, named @Sarawakian_12 publishes the radio signal monitoring audio clips in Pusa, Sarawak on YouTube. He tunes 6 Kuching radio stations in Pusa, Sarawak.

1. Hot FM 94.3MHz (120km from Gunung Serapi)

Two months ago, I also monitored Hot FM 94.3MHz radio signal in Simanggang (Sri Aman), Engkilili, Debak, Saratok and Roban. At my side, Saratok is the clearest town to tune Hot FM 94.3MHz, following by Roban and Engkilili, meanwhile Hot FM 94.3MHz is interfered badly by RTM Sarawak FM 94.4MHz in Simanggang and Debak.

Although Pusa is not far from RTM Sarawak FM 94.4MHz Off Spaoh transmitter where its distance is just 25km, but Hot FM 94.3MHz has no interference noise from this radio station in Pusa, Sarawak. For RTM Sarawak FM, it can be tuned in Pusa clearly on 100.3MHz from Bukit Temudok.

 

RTM Sarawak FM 94.4MHz is a low power transmitter in Off Spaoh to cover only Spaoh, Debak and Betong. Sarawak FM 100.3MHz Bukit Temudok transmitter is less clear in some locations within Debak, so FM 94.4MHz covers the blindspot coverage of FM 100.3MHz in Debak, Sarawak.

 

2. RTM Wai FM Iban FM 101.3MHz (120km from Gunung Serapi)

RTM Wai FM Iban can be tuned in Pusa even clearer via Sri Aman FM 89.5MHz from Bukit Temudok, except 9am to 12pm radio slot. Alongside RTM Klik, Astro CH871, MYTV CH710 and shortwave SW 11665kHz, RTM Wai FM Iban 101.3MHz is the alternative frequency in Pusa when the listeners tune to Wai 9-12 from 9am to 12pm while Sri Aman is airing 3 hours local Malay language broadcast.

 

3. RTM Wai FM Bidayuh FM 106.1MHz (120km from Gunung Serapi)

Although there are very less Bidayuh people residing in Pusa, but Pusa is a bonus coverage of Wai FM Bidayuh on 106.1MHz from Gunung Serapi. According to @Sarawakians_12, Wai FM Bidayuh has no signal on 101.7MHz from Gunung Ampungan.

 

4. RTM Radio Klasik FM 92.9MHz (120km from Gunung Serapi)

RTM Radio Klasik can be tuned clearly on FM 107.3MHz from Bukit Temudok in Pusa, Sarawak. From Debak to Pusa, as Radio Klasik operates on FM 92.8MHz in Off Spaoh, so there is self-interference of Radio Klasik between FM 92.8MHz (Off Spaoh) and FM 92.9MHz (Gunung Serapi).

 

5. Kupi-Kupi FM 92.5MHz (102km from Bukit Djin)

The signal in Pusa is clearer than Saratok, Engkilili, and Simanggang where I tuned 2 months ago.

 

6. Eight FM 98.3MHz (102km from Bukit Djin)

Eight FM 98.3MHz from Bukit Djin is the only full fledged Chinese commercial radio station available in Pusa, Sarawak, meanwhile MY FM 96.9MHz and Melody FM 103.7MHz are not available there.

 

The radio signal of RTM Wai FM Iban 101.3MHz, RTM Wai FM Bidayuh FM 106.1MHz and Hot FM 94.3MHz are very clear in Pusa, Sarawak, meanwhile Kupi-Kupi FM 92.5MHz and Eight FM 98.3MHz are moderately clear there too.

Overall, the listeners can tune more radio stations in Pusa than other areas in Betong Division, Sarawak. Here is a list of the radio stations in Pusa, Sarawak.

* RTM Radio Klasik FM 107.3MHz (Bukit Temudok)

* RTM Nasional FM 98.9MHz (Bukit Temudok)

* RTM Sarawak FM 100.3MHz (Bukit Temudok)

* RTM Traxx FM 103.8MHz (Bukit Temudok)

* RTM Ai FM 105.3MHz (Bukit Temudok)

* RTM Red FM 106.3MHz (Bukit Temudok)

* RTM Sri Aman FM 89.5MHz (Bukit Temudok)

* RTM Wai FM Iban 101.3MHz (Gunung Serapi)

* RTM Wai FM Bidayuh/Radio Kayan 106.1MHz (Gunung Serapi)

* Cats FM 88.7MHz (Bukit Temudok)

* Hot FM 94.3MHz (Gunung Serapi)

* Eight FM 98.3MHz (Bukit Djin)

* Kool 101 FM 104.3MHz (Bukit Djin)

* Kupi-Kupi FM 92.5MHz (Bukit Djin)

* Tea FM 102.7MHz (Bukit Antu)

* Bernama Radio FM 100.9MHz (Bukit Antu)

Astro radio stations are likely not receivable in Pusa, Sarawak due to low power transmission and directional antenna.

Thanks to @Sarawakians_12 for contributing FM radio signal monitoring works by recording some Bukit Djin and Gunung Serapi radio stations signal as the sample.

Radio Era Sarawak diterima di Sabah pada frekuensi FM 101.3MHz dari Miri, Sarawak (Bukit Lambir)

Siaran radio Era Sabah mempunyai dua frekuensi di Negeri Sabah, iaitu FM 102.4MHz di Kota Kinabalu (Bukit Karatong) dan FM 103.0MHz di Sandakan (Bukit Trig).

Era Sabah and Era Sarawak mempunyai kandungan yang berbeza. 

Walaupun orang Sabah boleh mendengar siaran radio Era Sabah, tetapi di sesetengah kawasan, Era Sarawak boleh didengari pada frekuensi FM 101.3MHz dari Miri, Sarawak (Bukit Lambir).

Era FM Sarawak mempunyai frekuensi di Miri yang dipancar dari FM 101.3MHz, siaran radio ini boleh didengari di Miri, Bekenu, Niah, Marudi, dan sebahagian Brunei (Tutong, Kuala Belait dan Seria), tetapi terdapat seorang pendengar radio boleh menerima siaran Era FM Sarawak 101.3MHz di Tamparuli dan Tuaran.  Selain itu, Era FM Sarawak 101.3MHz boleh dikesan Jalan Keningau-Kimanis dan Jalan Kota Kinabalu - Tambunan.

Era FM Sarawak 101.3MHz dari Bukit Lambir ialah stesen radio yang paling jauh diterima di negeri Sabah dengan jarak 326km, terutamanya Tuaran dan Tamparuli.

Terdapat rakaman video penerimaan siaran radio Era FM Sarawak 101.3MHz di Sabah yang dimuatnaik oleh Kisah Alkisah di YouTube.

1. Tuaran (326km)

2. Tamparuli (326km)

Penerimaan siaran radio Era FM Sarawak 101.3MHz di Sabah adalah bersifat troposfera.

Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI) launches PRO-3 radio station on shortwave frequency SW 7300kHz?

In Indonesia, Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI) currently operates only two shortwave radio stations, namely Voice of Indonesia - VOI (SW 3325kHz/4755kHz) and RRI Nabire PRO-1 (SW 7290kHz).

Recently there are several Indonesia radio listeners detecting a signal on SW 7300kHz which broadcasts RRI PRO-3 program in Indonesian language, I have spotted several posts regarding RRI PRO-3 transmission on SW 7300kHz via Facebook.

There is no information about this frequency from Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI) yet.

Transmitter site is unknown.

I have successfully captured Radio Republik Indonesia RRI PRO-3 signal on SW 7300kHz at my home in Balakong, Selangor, Malaysia today before going out to work.

Signal is weak in Malaysia when I tune RRI PRO-3 SW 7300kHz, video is recorded today on 21st July 2025 at 0720 hours (UTC+8). Currently I'm searching the information of this frequency's transmission.

Is SW 7300kHz an official broadcast of Radio Republik Indonesia RRI PRO-3? RRI should explain this to the public.

Singapore 88.3 Jia FM and Power 98FM will be closed down on 30th October 2025, both frequencies will become empty in Singapore, but can Malaysia or Indonesia radio stations use those frequencies in JB and Batam?

Singapore's So Drama! Entertainment radio stations 88.3 Jia FM and Power 98FM will be ended their broadcast via FM radio on 30th October 2025 in order to focus on digital platform.

 

Kakee app is a digital streaming platform in Singapore, launched by So Drama! Entertainment since June 2025.

 

Both radio stations have been on Singapore's airwaves for 31 years since 1994, they will go farewell in October 2025 by ending their broadcast, the frequencies FM 88.3MHz and FM 98.0MHz would be returned to Singapore's Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA).

Singapore radio stations will be reduced from 19 to 17 after Jia FM 88.3 and Power 98FM cease broadcast on 30th October 2025. In addition, Singapore radio industry leaves only Mediacorp and Singapore Press Holdings (SPH).

 

After 30th October 2025, both frequencies FM 88.3MHz and FM 98.0MHz will become empty in Singapore, Johor Bahru and Batam, but can Malaysia or Indonesia radio stations use these frequencies in Johor Bahru and Batam?

 

Actually it is NO! This is because the frequencies of upcoming defunct 88.3 Jia FM and Power 98FM are belonged to IMDA, together with FM 99.5MHz, unless IMDA Singapore let go these frequencies to Malaysia or Indonesia radio stations for radio broadcast in Johor Bahru and Batam via international coordination meeting between MCMC, IMDA and KOMINFO.

IMDA Singapore can offer the new radio players to operate these empty frequencies (88.3MHz, 98.0MHz and 99.5MHz) via tender in the future.

Goodbye to 88.3 Jia FM and Power 98FM, thanks for serving the listeners in Singapore, Batam and South Johor with the best entertainment and content during these 31 years (1994-2025).

Langkawi is the only location in Malaysia to receive Radio Tarma SW 4775kHz from Peru.

From 2024 to 2025, there was a Langkawi based Malaysia radio DXer, tuning a Peru shortwave radio station on SW 4775kHz in Langkawi, Kedah, Malaysia.

It is Radio Tarma from Peru, it operates on SW 4775kHz in Tarma City, Tarma District, Peru at 1kW transmitter power with non-directional antenna only.

I try to tune this Peru radio station on SW 4775kHz at my home in Balakong, Selangor, Malaysia, but no signal is heard.

The signal of Radio Tarma SW 4775kHz from Peru is moderately weak in Langkawi, Kedah, Malaysia, it is the furthest radio station tuned in Malaysia with the distance 19267km from Peru.

As today, Langkawi is the only Malaysia's location to receive Radio Tarma SW 4775kHz signal from Peru.

Congratulations to Sarawut DXer for successfully tuning Radio Tarma SW 4775kHz from Peru in Langkawi, Kedah, Malaysia.

Pulau Indah is likely the best location in Klang District, Selangor to tune RTM Melaka FM 102.3MHz from Gunung Ledang.

In Selangor state, RTM Melaka FM 102.3MHz from Gunung Ledang is still available in Sepang, Sungai Pelek, Tanjung Sepat and part of Morib with moderate to weak signal.

As there is no terrain between Gunung Ledang and Selangor coastal areas, this Melaka based RTM state radio station can be also received in Pulau Indah where is located in Klang District, Selangor.

In Klang, Melaka FM 102.3MHz from Gunung Ledang is not available actually, the listeners may hear adjacent channel interference noise of RTM Pahang FM 102.2MHz from Bukit Fraser and Asyik FM 102.5MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali.

On SKVE highway, from Bandar Saujana Putra to Pulau Indah, I can tune RTM Melaka FM 102.3MHz with moderate signal, while Pahang FM 102.2MHz is interfered by Melaka FM 102.3MHz.

The radio signal of Melaka FM 102.3MHz in Pulau Indah is moderately clear, I record the video from SKVE Pulau Indah toll exit to Petron Pulau Indah.

Pulau Indah is the only best location to tune Melaka FM 102.3MHz in Klang District, Selangor. 

No signal in Klang, Kapar and Meru.

* Frequency: FM 102.3MHz

* Power: 1kW

* Transmitter site: Gunung Ledang, Johor

* Receiving site: Pulau Indah, Selangor 

* Distance: 153km

Radio Diva Nusantara FM 101.1MHz from Indonesia tuned in coastal areas of Selangor, Malaysia?

After a success of tuning Radio Diva Nusantara FM 101.1MHz in Putrajaya and Serdang, Malaysia on 27th and 28th June 2025, I continue to DX this radio station signal in another locations of Malaysia.

I supposedly ended my radio DXing trip in Peninsular Malaysia on 29th June 2025 with Maran, Chenor, and Temerloh in Pahang, but as I just alerted the presence of Radio Diva Nusantara FM 101.1MHz, I decided to extend my radio DXing tour in Peninsular Malaysia until July 2025.

On 14 July 2025, I make my final radio DXpedition series in Peninsular Malaysia by monitoring the radio signal of Diva Nusantara FM 101.1MHz from Rokan Hilir, Riau Province, Indonesia by 3 locations in Selangor, Malaysia where involves Morib, Tanjung Sepat, and Batu Laut. 

No signal in Jenjarom and Banting town from this radio station on FM 101.1MHz. 

After these trips, I departed back home, but I detected this Indonesia radio station again on SKVE Highway in Telok Panglima Garang and Bandar Saujana Putra.

1. Morib (99km)

2. Tanjung Sepat (101km)

3. Batu Laut (98km)

4. SKVE Telok Panglima Garang (115km) 

5. SKVE Bandar Saujana Putra (125km)

In Morib and Tanjung Sepat (including Batu Laut), Radio Diva Nusantara FM 101.1MHz is very hard to be received its signal because it is almost zero signal if I move my receiving position. To record the signal videos, I need to stay in position carefully in order to get a better signal.

Based on preliminary check, Radio Diva Nusantara cannot be received in Pulau Indah because I only get a weak signal of RTM Traxx FM from Gunung Brinchang (Cameron Highlands) on the frequency FM 101.1MHz. When I receive Traxx FM signal on 101.1MHz in Pulau Indah, I cancel the radio signal monitoring in Port Klang because Radio Diva Nusantara FM 101.1MHz cannot be received in Port Klang, even Bagan Lalang in Sungai Pelek too.

In addition, Mu'izz Lifestyle also captured this Indonesia radio station weakly in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia few weeks ago.

 

==EXTRA FOOTAGE: Radio Diva Nusantara FM 101.1MHz tuned in Puchong, Selangor, Malaysia==

* LDP highway near Bandar Puteri & Puchong Intan (131km)

During Awal Muharram holiday on 27th June 2025, I attempted to receive this radio station in Puchong, but failed. Until 18th July 2025, I received Radio Diva Nusantara FM 101.1MHz signal from Indonesia successfully in Puchong near Bandar Puteri and Puchong Intan while driving back home through LDP highway (Bukit Puchong).

* SKVE Sierra 16 interchange (133km)

Radio Republik Indonesia RRI Entikong PRO-1 changed its frequency from FM 100.7MHz to FM 99.9MHz since 1st June 2025

Radio Republik Indonesia RRI Entikong PRO-1 was originally on the frequency FM 100.7MHz, but since 1st June 2025, it is on the new frequency FM 99.9MHz.

This radio station is still receivable in Serian and Tebedu, Sarawak.

In Kuching, same as former frequency FM 100.7MHz, Radio Republik Indonesia RRI Entikong PRO-1 on FM 99.9MHz would have interference noise from Lite FM 100.1MHz Bukit Djin transmitter as both are separated at 200kHz.

FM 99.9MHz is the new frequency of RRI Entikong PRO-1, effective 1st June 2025.

Sinar FM Johor Bahru frequency 87.8MHz from Gunung Pulai received in Telok Melano, Sarawak?

Telok Melano is the westernmost area in Sarawak, it takes 2 hour journey to travel from Kuching, the capital of Sawak.

About the radio coverage, Telok Melano is covered by Gunung Serapi transmitter, but listeners in this area can receive radio stations from Indonesia, meanwhile Bukit Djin transmitted Kuching radio stations cannot be received there clearly.

Surprisingly, Peninsular Malaysia based Johor radio station from Gunung Pulai can be detected its signal in Telok Melano, Sarawak.

A radio DXer from Sarawak has received Sinar FM radio signal from Gunung Pulai on FM 87.8MHz in Telok Melano, Sarawak today.

Sinar FM 87.8MHz from Gunung Pulai mainly targets South Johor, it can be tuned in Singapore and Batam.

According to the video, the signal of Sinar FM 87.8MHz is weak in Telok Melano, Sarawak. 

Although Sinar FM is available in Kuching on 102.1MHz from Bukit Djin, but it cannot be received in Sematan and Telok Melano because it operates only at 0.25kW transmitter power.

In terms of tuning distance, Sinar FM 87.8MHz becomes the furthest radio station in Telok Melano, Sarawak with 692km.

Congratulations to @Sarawakian_12 for successfully tuning Sinar FM 87.8MHz (Gunung Pulai) in Telok Melano, Sarawak today 

On 31st August 2025, I will come to Kuching for radio DXing, so I can check Johor radio stations signal in Telok Melano together.

==Sinar FM JB frequency 87.8MHz tuned in Sarawak==

* Frequency: FM 87.8MHz

* Power: 2kW

* Transmitter site: Gunung Pulai, Johor

* Receiving site: Telok Melano, Sarawak 

* Distance: 692km

Furthest locations of tuning RTM Selangor FM 100.9MHz in Pahang (TOP 5)

Here is a TOP 5 furthest locations list of tuning RTM Selangor FM 100.9MHz in Pahang state where I checked from November 2021 until today .

1. Muadzam Shah (150km)

2. Merapoh (143km)

3. Maran (111km)

4. Padang Tengku & Jengka (92km)

5. Kuala Lipis (89km)

RTM Melaka FM 102.3MHz dari Gunung Ledang kini boleh didengari di Pahang Tengah dengan isyarat sederhana setelah RTM menaiktaraf pemancar radio di Gunung Ledang

Siaran radio RTM Melaka FM 102.3MHz dari pemancar Gunung Ledang kini boleh didengari di kawasan Pahang Tengah seperti Temerloh, Chenor, Kuala Krau, Jengka dan Mentakab dengan isyarat sederhana setelah RTM menaiktaraf pemancar radio di Gunung Ledang.

Sebelum ini, siaran radio Melaka FM 102.3MHz boleh didengari di Keratong dan Muadzam Shah sahaja untuk negeri Pahang, manakala stesen radio ini kurang jelas diterima di Bandar Bera, Teriang dan Kemayan akibat gangguan frekuensi dengan Pahang FM 102.2MHz yang dipancar dari Bukit Fraser.

Pada bulan Jun 2025, RTM telah menaiktaraf pemancar radio di Gunung Ledang, ini menyebabkan siaran Melaka FM 102.3MHz boleh didengari di kawasan Pahang Tengah sejak kebelakangan ini.

Di Temerloh dan Chenor, siaran Melaka FM 102.3MHz masih boleh diikuti dengan jelas, tetapi terdapat gangguan frekuensi dengan RTM Pahang FM 102.2MHz dari Bukit Fraser, cuma gangguan masih boleh dikawal lagi.

Berbanding antara Pahang FM 102.2MHz dan Melaka FM 102.3MHz di Temerloh dan Chenor, isyarat radio Melaka FM 102.3MHz lebih kuat daripada Pahang FM 102.2MHz secara keseluruhannya.

Kuasa pemancar Melaka FM 102.3MHz masih kekal pada 1kW, siarannya semakin luas di negeri Pahang akibat sistem antenna pemancar dia yang baru dan baik.

Setelah pemancar radio RTM Gunung Ledang dinaiktaraf, Melaka FM 102.3MHz boleh didengari lebih jelas di Bandar Bera, Teriang, dan Kemayan, namun pendengar di Kuala Krau dan Jengka pun boleh mengikuti siaran Melaka FM pada frekuensi yang sama untuk mendapatkan maklumat mengenai perkembangan negeri Melaka serta hiburan.

RTM Pahang FM 102.2MHz dari Bukit Fraser diganggu oleh Melaka FM 102.3MHz dari Gunung Ledang di Mentakab, Lanchang, Temerloh, Chenor, Bandar Bera, Teriang dan Kemayan, tetapi Pahang FM boleh diterima dengan jelas pada frekuensi 107.5MHz yang dipancar dari Gunung Ulu Kali. Frekuensi 102.2MHz hanya meliputi kawasan Raub dan sebahagian Lipis.

==Penerimaan siaran radio Melaka FM 102.3MHz di Pahang Tengah==

1. Temerloh (122km)

2. Chenor (125km)

RTM Melaka FM 102.3MHz and Asyik FM 95.6MHz from Gunung Ledang are now available in Temerloh and Chenor, Pahang after upgrading the transmission system in June 2025.

RTM had done upgrading its Gunung Ledang radio transmitter system few weeks ago in June 2025, Melaka FM 102.3MHz which targets Malacca only and RTM Asyik FM 95.6MHz which mainly targets North Johor are now available in Temerloh and Chenor, Pahang.

For Asyik FM, its tuning frequency in Temerloh, Chenor and Maran is actually 102.5MHz, transmitted from Gunung Ulu Kali, but its Gunung Ledang transmitter on FM 95.6MHz can be received moderately in Temerloh and Chenor with mild interference from RTM Pahang FM 95.5MHz Bukit Sulai transmitter. 

Before June 2025, Melaka FM 102.3MHz was not available in Pahang state at all, except Keratong, Felda Tembangau and Muadzam Shah, but it is now receivable moderately in Temerloh, Mentakab, and Chenor after its transmitter system was upgraded few weeks ago.

Transmitter powers of both radio stations are same as before, Asyik FM 95.6MHz is still at 0.25kW, meanwhile Melaka FM 102.3MHz is at 1kW, but their coverage become wider due to the antenna system.

In Chenor and Temerloh, I could detect the RDS PS text on my radio receiver when I tune Melaka FM 102.3MHz and Asyik FM 95.6MHz.

When Melaka FM 102.3MHz is now available in Temerloh and Chenor, Pahang FM 102.2MHz from Fraser's Hill which mainly covers Raub is having interference with Melaka FM in both locations. Between Melaka FM 102.3MHz and Pahang FM 102.2MHz, the signal of Melaka FM is stronger than Pahang FM 102.2MHz in Temerloh and Chenor.

From Kuala Lumpur to Kuantan on LPT highway, Melaka FM 102.3MHz is available from Lanchang until Chenor. 

Pahang FM 102.2MHz from Bukit Fraser is moderately clear in Karak, but interference with Melaka FM 102.3MHz starts from Lanchang when heading to east.

Asyik FM 95.6MHz from Gunung Ledang and Pahang FM 95.5MHz from Bukit Sulai are interfering each other in Temerloh and Chenor, but Asyik FM 95.6MHz is stronger than Pahang FM 95.5MHz actually.

In conclusion, technically Melaka FM becomes bonus RTM radio station in Temerloh and Chenor, Pahang.

==Melaka FM 102.3MHz and Asyik FM 95.6MHz radio reception videos in Chenor and Temerloh, Pahang==

1. Temerloh (122km from Gunung Ledang)

2. Chenor (125km from Gunung Ledang)

RTM Selangor FM masih boleh diterima di kawasan Pahang Tengah pada frekuensi FM 100.9MHz yang dipancar dari Gunung Ulu Kali, sehingga Chenor.

Di negeri Pahang, RTM Selangor FM 100.9MHz boleh didengari dengan jelas di kawasan Pahang Barat seperti Bentong, Kuala Lipis, Karak, dan Lanchang, tetapi siaran radio ini masih boleh diikuti di Pahang Tengah pada frekuensi yang sama, walaupun kawasan ini bukan liputan utama RTM Selangor FM 100.9MHz.

Selangor FM 100.9MHz boleh diterima dengan isyarat sederhana di Temerloh, Mentakab, Lanchang, Kuala Krau, Chenor dan Jengka, manakala isyarat menjadi sangat lemah di Maran.

Dari Kuala Lumpur ke Kuantan, RTM Selangor FM 100.9MHz cuma boleh didengari dengan jelas sehingga Chenor, manakala siaran radio ini sudah diterima di Maran, Pahang.

Isyarat hilang selepas kawasan Maran apabila bersinggah ke Kuantan.

Di kawasan Maran, berbanding dengan RTM Radio Klasik FM 98.3MHz, Pahang FM 107.5MHz atau Hot FM 97.6MHz yang juga dipancar dari Gunung Ulu Kali, RTM Selangor FM 100.9MHz ialah stesen radio dari Gunung Ulu Kali yang paling lemah diterima di Maran kerana ia menghala ke arah Selangor dan Kuala Lumpur sahaja.

Terdapat rakaman video saya yang menerima RTM Selangor FM 100.9MHz di 5 buah kawasan Pahang Tengah dari Julai 2023 dan terkini.

1. Jengka (92km)

2. Bandar Bera (75km)

3. Maran (111km)

4. Chenor (88km)

5. Temerloh (71km)

Pendengar di Pahang Barat dan Pahang Tengah boleh mengikuti siaran RTM Selangor FM untuk mendapat maklumat terikini mengenai perkembangan negeri Selangor dan hiburan pada frekuensi FM 100.9MHz yang dipancar dari Gunung Ulu Kali.

Putrajaya is my very first ever location in Malaysia to tune Radio Diva Nusantara FM 101.1MHz from Indonesia (Rokan Hilir, Riau Province)

Recently I noticed that Rokan Hilir based Indonesia radio station Diva Nusantara changed its frequency from FM 101.7MHz to FM 101.1MHz, so it makes me to feel interested to receive the signal of Radio Diva Nusantara FM 101.1MHz in Tanjung Sepat, Morib and Bagan Lalang, Selangor, Malaysia.

While I'm predicting that Radio Diva Nusantara FM 101.1MHz can be likely received in Tanjung Sepat and Morib, Selangor, Malaysia, I also try to tune this frequency in Puchong and Putrajaya.

Today is Awal Muharram holiday in Malaysia, so I also still work actually, but after working hours, I drive to Putrajaya for DVB-T2 television signal check. During my way from Puchong to Putrajaya, I also check the signal on FM 101.1MHz. 

Radio Diva Nusantara FM 101.1MHz has little signal in Puchong areas on LDP highway, then signal is completely disappeared after Bukit Puchong when I drive to SKVE highway. 

Before entering Presint 1, Putrajaya via SKVE highway, FM 101.1MHz is the distant radio signal of MY FM from Bukit Pelindung (Kuantan), then the signal becomes Indonesia radio station after entering the flyover.

When I reach Putrajaya, I can detect Radio Diva Nusantara FM 101.1MHz weakly from Bagansiapiapi, Rokan Hilir Regency, Riau Province, Indonesia, but I can't record the video because I'm at the big roundabout. So, I go to the vicinity of Putra Mosque near Presint 2 for DVB-T2 signal check.

Before stopping the car at Presint 2, I continue monitoring Radio Diva Nusantara FM 101.1MHz signal within the vicinity of Putra Mosque, but it is very hard to be tuned. So, I give up of it first and proceed to check DVB-T2 signal via portable TV receiver.

After doing DVB-T2 signal check, I depart to home, but I still continue to monitor the signal of Radio Diva Nusantara FM 101.1MHz near Prime Minister Office in Putrajaya, Malaysia.

I drive slowly from Putra Mosque to Prime Minister Office, then I detect a good signal of Radio Diva Nusantara at a parking. After that, I stop my car and record the video.

I have captured the signal of Radio Diva Nusantara FM 101.1MHz from Indonesia in Putrajaya, Malaysia by recording a video with 105 seconds duration.

The signal is very weak, but inconsistently clear during the video recording. I tune this frequency by using car radio.

As today, Radio Diva Nusantara FM 101.1MHz from Bagansiapiapi, Rokan Hilir Regency, Riau Province, Indonesia becomes the furthest radio station tuned in Putrajaya, Malaysia with a distance 132km. It is also the only Indonesia radio station that I can detect weakly in Putrajaya.

In addition, Putrajaya becomes my very first location in Malaysia to tune Radio Diva Nusantara FM 101.1MHz from Indonesia. 

Next, I will check this Indonesia radio station signal in Morib and Tanjung Sepat, Selangor in July 2025.

==Radio Diva Nusantara FM 101.1MHz reception in Putrajaya, Malaysia==

* Frequency: FM 101.1MHz

* Power: 1.6kW

* Transmitter site: Bagansiapiapi, Rokan Hilir Regency, Riau Province, Indonesia 

* Receiving site: Presint 1, Putrajaya, Malaysia 

* Distance: 132km

Radio Diva Nusantara in Rokan Hilir, Riau Province, Indonesia changed its frequency again from FM 101.7MHz to FM 101.1MHz.

3 years ago, Rokan Hilir based Indonesia radio station, Radio Diva Nusantara changed its frequency from FM 100.3MHz to FM 101.7MHz, however in 2025, this radio station changed the frequency again from FM 101.7MHz to FM 101.1MHz.

I have just seen the frequency change of Radio Diva Nusantara through Facebook where the radio station publishes its studio picture with the frequency.

As June 2025, Radio Diva Nusantara broadcasts on FM 101.1MHz in Rokan Hilir, Riau Province, Indonesia, the studio photo with the frequency FM 101.7MHz was no longer used in 2025.

Formerly it was on FM 100.3MHz, then FM 101.7MHz, and now it is on FM 101.1MHz.

Malaysia radio stations from Gunung Ulu Kali transmitter can be received loudly and clearly in Rokan Hilir, Riau Province, Indonesia. On 17th November 2020, there was a video of tuning Malaysia radio stations in Rokan Hilir, Radio Diva Nusantara was on FM 100.3MHz at that time. Before moving to FM 101.7MHz in February 2022, MY FM 101.8MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali was loud and clear in Rokan Hilir.

Radio Diva Nusantara changes its frequency to FM 101.1MHz by not using FM 101.7MHz anymore since 2025 because its former frequency FM 101.7MHz was interfered by MY FM 101.8MHz from Malaysia within Rokan Hilir regency. Hence, this radio station is allowed by KOMINFO to change the frequency to 101.1MHz to avoid the inteference from MY FM 101.8MHz.

The frequency allocation of Radio Diva Nusantara on FM 101.1MHz in Rokan Hilir, Riau, Indonesia is good enough because it has 200kHz frequency separation with RTM Selangor FM 100.9MHz from Gunung Ulu Kali transmitter, so it won't be interfered by Malaysia radio station within the coverage due to larger frequency separation.

==RF analysis of Radio Diva Nusantara FM 100.3MHz (2016-2022)==

100.1MHz: Traxx FM Gunung Ulu Kali (Malaysia)

100.3MHz: Radio Diva Nusantara Rokan Hilir

<200kHz, OK>

100.3MHz: Radio Diva Nusantara Rokan Hilir 

100.5MHz: Radio KLA FM Dumai

<200kHz, NOT OK>

==RF analysis of Radio Diva Nusantara FM 101.7MHz (2022-2025)==

101.7MHz: Radio Diva Nusantara Rokan Hilir (Indonesia)

101.8MHz: MY FM Gunung Ulu Kali (Malaysia)

<100kHz, NOT OK, interference within Rokan Hilir>

==RF analysis of Radio Diva Nusantara FM 101.1MHz (2025-present)==

100.8MHz: Radio Hit FM Dumai

101.1MHz: Radio Diva Nusantara Rokan Hilir

<300kHz, OK>

100.9MHz: RTM Selangor FM Gunung Ulu Kali

101.1MHz: Radio Diva Nusantara Rokan Hilir

<200kHz, OK>

Comparing both RF analysis above, FM 101.1MHz transmission in Rokan Hilir, Riau Province, Indonesia is better than FM 101.7MHz and FM 100.3MHz because Radio Diva Nusantara is no longer interfered by Malaysia radio station due to wider frequency separation.

Is DVB-T2 radio stations suitable for outdoor listening?

In certain countries, some digital terrestrial television providers offer radio broadcasting services on DVB-T2 platform. 

Although DVB-T2 is primarily for television broadcast, but some the radio stations are launched on DVB-T2 platform.

In Malaysia, the digital terrestrial television provider MYTV has radio broadcasting service on DVB-T2 platform.

MYTV has 14 radio stations on DVB-T2 platform, such as:

* RTM Radio Klasik

* RTM Nasional FM

* RTM Sarawak FM

* RTM Sabah FM

* RTM Traxx FM

* RTM Ai FM

* RTM Minnal FM

* RTM Asyik FM

* RTM Wai FM (Iban + Lun Bawang + Kayan + Kenyah)

* RTM Sabah VFM

* Bernama Radio

* Molek FM

* Hot FM

* Kool 101

MYTV radio channel availability on DVB-T2 platform can by-pass the limitation of frequency coverage transmission for certain radio channels.

When radio broadcasting service is available on DVB-T2 platform, this makes the radio listeners more convenient because they can listen to their favorite radio stations on TV, but is DVB-T2 radio stations suitable for outdoor listening (example: listen in the car)?

I try to listen to RTM Sarawak FM on MYTV CH709 via DVB-T2 by using Leadstar D7 portable TV with installing a portable TV antenna on the car rooftop, then connect the portable TV to the car stereo AUX port by using AUX cable. The signal is average when I listen at the stationary position while car stops, but I cannot tune to DVB-T2 radio stations anymore when I start to drive.

Based on my listening experience, although if I tune to DVB-T2 radio stations near the transmitter tower while I'm driving, but the signal is unstable when I move at slower speed, then it is disappeared at higher speed.

DVB-T2 radio station has no signal anymore when I drive at a speed more than 30km/h. Although MYTV Bukit Sungai Besi transmitter tower is very near to Bukit Jalil and Seri Kembangan, but I cannot receive a stable signal when I'm driving. 

This is because:

1. DVB-T2 broadcasts on UHF frequency band between 470MHz-698MHz, the band is higher than VHF and FM, so its coverage will be smaller than FM and VHF transmission.

2. In Malaysia, most of the MYTV DVB-T2 transmitter ERP (Effective Radiated Power) is less than 10kW, so the coverage is smaller and MYTV DVB-T2 reception stability is low.

3. DVB-T2 on UHF band is mainly used for digital terrestrial television broadcast, meanwhile it is not for radio broadcasting service, but radio stations transmission on DVB-T2 is only for indoor with stationary condition.

==Characteristics of DVB-T2 radio stations for outdoor listening==

1. DVB-T2 radio stations signal is zero when car moves at higher speed.

2. Maximum speed of DVB-T2 signal when car is moving: 25km/h 

3. During traffic jam with the speed between 10-25km/h, DVB-T2 signal becomes available, but unstable reception. The signal is only totally stable when car is fully stopped.

==Conclusion==

1. DVB-T2 radio stations are not suitable for outdoor listening such as tune in the car or listen while walking.

2. To tune a radio in the car or outdoor, it is strongly recommended to tune via FM radio or online streaming (mobile app). Radio via online streaming is more stable than DVB-T2 platform.

Due to growing of advanced car infotainment head unit (IHU) which allows internet connectivity, DVB-T2 radio and DAB+ are not important anymore. 

DVB-T2 radio is only suitable to be tuned at the home, office, restaurants and workplace where are indoor.
