FREQUENCY CONVERSION

The tuning location of a station can be expressed in frequency
(kHz or MHz) or in wavelength (meters). The following informa-
tion 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:
9.62 (MHz)
• To convert from kHz to MHz, divide the number of kilohertz
by 1,000:
2780 (kHz)
• To convert MHz to meters, divide 300 by the number of
megahertz:
300
40
1000 = 9620 kHz
1000 = 2.780 MHz
7.1 MHz = 42.25 meters
