By day, KMAX transmits with 10,000 watts and broadcasts a non-directional signal. As 840 AM is a United States clear-channel frequency reserved for Class A WHAS in Louisville, Kentucky, it must reduce nighttime power to only 280 watts to protect the skywave signal of WHAS. The transmitter is off Hilty Road in Colfax.
