FREQUENCY CONVERSION
The tuning location of a station can be expressed in fre-
quency (kHz or MHz) or in wavelength (meters). The fol-
lowing information can help you make the necessary
conversions.
1 MHz (million) = 1,000 kHz (thousand)
To convert MHz to kHz, multiply the number of megahertz
by 1,000:
30.62 (MHz) x 1000 = 30,620 kHz
To convert from kHz to MHz, divide the number of kilo-
hertz by 1,000:
127,800 (kHz)
÷
1000 = 127.8 MHz
To convert MHz to meters, divide 300 by the number of
megahertz:
300
÷
50 MHz = 6 meters
