KRXV - Coverage

Coverage

Programming is distributed across four transmitters covering the Mojave Desert:

  • KRXV 98.1 in Yermo, near Barstow, and its translator, K252CQ 98.3 in Apple Valley.
  • KHWY 98.9, added in 1991 to cover Interstate 40 between Essex and Laughlin.
  • KHYZ 99.7 in Mountain Pass, California (near the California-Nevada state line), serving Primm and Las Vegas. Originally at 99.5, the frequency switch was made in 2002 to improve reception between Baker and the state line. The signal was boosted further sometime in 2008 or 2009 in order to be heard better in Las Vegas. The station has a construction permit to move its signal into Las Vegas, along with a increase in power.

Broadcasts can normally be heard beginning as far south as Rosamond, California, on State Route 14 to the State Route 58 turn off in Mojave, California. The broadcast is audible on State Route 58 from Mojave through Barstow, California, where State Route 58 ends into Interstate 15. From Barstow north on the 15 broadcast can be heard normally past the Nevada state line and in the Las Vegas Valley itself. Audible broadcast can normally be picked up on the majority of State Route 138 to its junction with Interstate 15 and also Interstate 40 from Barstow to around Kingman, Arizona.
