KRUZ has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 105,000 watts. Its transmitter is atop Broadcast Peak north of Santa Barbara in the Santa Ynez Mountains at a height above average terrain (HAAT) of 905 meters (2,969 ft). These factors give KRUZ one of the largest coverage areas of any FM station in the United States. KRUZ broadcasts in analog only, not airing a digital HD Radio. However, on February 16, 2021, the station began to carry RDS information.
