FREQUENCY CONVERSION

The tuning location of a station can be expressed in frequency (kHz or MHz) or
in wavelength (meters). The following information can help you make the neces-
sary conversions.
1 MHz (million) = 1,000 kHz (thousand)
To convert MHz to kHz, multiply the number of megahertz by 1,000:
9.62 (MHz) x 1000 = 9620 kHz
To convert from kHz to MHz, divide the number of kilohertz by 1,000:
2780 (kHz) 1000 = 2.780 MHz
To convert MHz to meters, divide 300 by the number of megahertz:
300 7.1 MHz = 42.25 meters
