following 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 1,000 = 30,620 kHz
To convert from kHz to MHz, divide the number of kilohertz by 1,000:
127.800 (kHz) / 1,000 = 127.8 MHz
To convert MHz to meters, divide 300 by the number of megahertz:
300/50 MHz = 6 meters
