    Not getting it out my way at all. On Facebook, the other Rhythm FM claims to be on air on 105.7 but I can't receive it.

    105.2 is not a good frequency. They'll need to make way for Christmas FM very soon.


    there are 2 Rhythm FMs?

    Their plan is to move to 105.7, though that also has one or two stations, all be it low powered ones So mightn’t be the best frequency either

    It's the same station. They must be testing different frequencies. On different Facebook pages they posted 105.2 and on another they posted 105.7. Both posted on the last few hours. Mystery solved!

    On 105.7 I can pick up music, but this is most likely the station from Meath.

    There are other frequencies available - Space appear to have departed the scene making 99.5 available, 101.2 is also available, 87.6/88.1/91.9/94.3 etc

    completely agree with you, i’m simply stating what their plans are, there are plenty of clearer frequencies in Dublin

    Using 105.7 upsets the 10kw monster (TX wise) on 106.0 - even mentioned it on air in the past:eek:

    Mullaghanish 107.4 sounds the same (through a 'Drainpipe' type sound) it possibly feeds 107.8, also the 106.4 sounds the same. Distant NT transmitters seem to be OK.

    I did a bit of a scan on my radio yesterday while driving between Ballinteer and Templeogue. This is what I got.

    FM:
    91.6 - Phever - good reception throughout
    93.2 - Connect - reception variable but could be picked up. Strongest towards Templeogue.
    107.1 - Trax - reception variable but could be picked up for the most part. Strongest towards Templeogue.

    AM:
    Energy Power (AM) - 1395 kh on Medium Wave - Reception variable, sometimes interference.

    Is that it or are there other low-powered stations still around? Has Chill gone from 87.6?

    Yup, they’ve been doing test transmissions for a while now. I believe it is there intention to use 94.3 on a permanent basis.

    Is 94.3 not a bad frequency to use on a permanent basis? Xmas fm and some of the temp stations like 8radio use it throughout the year.

    I was under the impression that it had been replaced by 105.2 as the main frequency for Dublin wide temps.

    Last year, they were allocated these frequencies that could be heard in Dublin:

    Dublin City & County - 105.2 FM
    Kildare - 88.1 FM
    North East - 99.4 FM

    As far as I know, frequencies for this year are yet to be announced.

    Maybe there was another temp on at the same time last year and they could have been allocated 94.3?

    Having seen this thread this evening, I briefly did a scan on the car radio in and around Windy Arbour (area between Dundrum and Milltown).

    I found the following:
    91.0 - barely audible - playing tracks by ABC. I presume this is Retro FM - no RDS.

    91.6 - Phever - very strong signal

    92.0 - Connect - good signal

    94.3 - Nothing!

    99.5 - Space FM on RDS but could get nothing!

    107.1 - Trax - good signal

    In the south west of the city at the moment and picking up:
    91.0 Retro - average signal/mono/high modulation
    91.6 Phever - strong
    92.0 Connect - strong
    99.5 Space - blank carrier
    105.7 Rhythm ? - weak signal
    107.1 Trax - strong signal

    Not forgetting 1395 AM Energy Power AM

    I’ve heard an on-air DJ (once who gave a SnapChat for the station and I’ve seen mention of the station once or twice on the owners Facebook but aside from that it doesn’t seem to have any web presence of it’s own. Carrier is now a buzzing tone.
