KRDX is an Adult Album Alternative radio station that serves Tucson, Arizona. KRDX broadcasts on the frequency of 98.5 MHz and is licenced to broadcast from Vail, Arizona (a southeastern suburb of Tucson).

Due to the station's low ERP and the station's close proximity to Hot 98.3 (KOHT), the station's reception is poor across most parts of the Tucson Metro area. In fact, bleed-through interference from 98.3 makes it nearly impossible to pick up the station in the northern parts of the city.

On top of that, it is owned by a small 'company', which is owned by a local Tucson couple. The station isn't on the air at all times of the day, and usually goes off air at night. This is a result of the unusual way the station gets its power - a combination of solar and wind power. The station currently operates this erratic broadcast schedule while technical issues relating to its source of electricity are solved. The station also lacks basic imaging/bumpers that are on radio stations that are owned by large companies. The only imaging is the hourly station identification, which is also played on the half-hour.

The station was moved to Vail from Nogales in 2005
