By day, KKYX transmits 50,000 watts non-directional. As 680 AM is a clear channel frequency, to protect other stations from interference, KKYX reduces power at night to 10,000 watts. After sunset, it uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array. The transmitter site is off FM471 in Medina County, about 10 miles west of Downtown San Antonio. Programming is also heard on 250-watt FM translator K285EU at 104.9 MHz in Mendoza.
