By day, KDUS is powered at 5,000 watts non-directional. But 1060 AM is a clear channel frequency. So at night, it reduces power to 500 watts to avoid interference with Class A stations KYW Philadelphia and XECPAE Mexico City. It uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array after sunset. The transmitter is on Calle Bella Vista near Interstate 10 in Guadalupe. The station can also be heard on HD Radio receivers at 100.7 FM KSLX-FM-HD2.
