Does anyone know why Sydneyâs Hope FM has an even frequency? Itâs on 103.2FM.

I think it was originally allocated 103.3 but it was causing interference to a TV channel

Yes, canât remember if it was ATN7 or TCN9. Harmonic interference.

I think it was Seven. Plus I think it must have just been a local issue around the 103.3 transmitter.
Becasue there wasnât ever a problem in Brisbane with BTQ7 with 4MBS originally on 103.3 (before the band restack). But because both were transmitted from similar locations on Mt Coot-tha with no residences nearby.

TCN I assume, the frequency of the station was around 200 MHz, half that is 100 MHz in the FM Band so itâs probably TCN.

You would think they should move it back to 103.3 now that Analog TV is long gone

Still RAM FM at Goulburn on 103.3 that is only 200 km away that could be an issue.

It could work. TEN10 and CTC10 co-channeled there. Fringe areas may get interference but the town shouldnât be affected. But given it has been on 103.2 for so long and thatâs what everyone know it as, it wonât change.

Maybe, TV antennas are more directional though which would minimise interference.

I had my RadioApp updated on my Android phone overnight. Now I need an email account and a password to use the app. Previously, you only needed to download the app, choose your favourite stations, and start listening straight away.
Also, I havenât been able to listen to Fox and Triple M through RadioApp for the past 12 months. If SCA wants people to listen to their stations through LiSTNR, why doesnât it just withdraw from RadioApp?

I have noticed that too, but it has been much better over the last couple of days.
The NW winds were absolutely killing the reception and it was very weak even on the car radio.
I reckon the new owners must have turned down the power on the transmitter, maybe they were abit over specs?

Not sure what is happening with yours, but Iâve streamed The Fox and 3MMM just fine this morning through Radioapp. I suggest emailing the app team and getting them to check.
