The carrier completes 102.9 million cycles each second. In free space, one full wave is about 2.91 metres long.
FCC channel 275 corresponds to 102.9 MHz. That is why the translator call sign starts with K275.
An ordinary FM radio can receive the 102.9 analog translator. The originating sports audio is also carried on the digital KKVU-HD3 service; selecting an HD subchannel requires an HD Radio receiver.
ERP includes antenna-system gain; it is not a live transmitter-output reading. HAAT measures antenna height relative to surrounding terrain, not tower height above ground. FCC engineering reference: final CDBS archive, January 9, 2024; published license listings cross-checked October 14, 2026. KKVU hardware is documented in MBC’s August 2026 transmitter report. Wavelength is calculated from the carrier frequency.
