To convert a frequency to a channel number:
| Take the hundredths number value in the frequency. | (example: in 72.990 MHz, use the 99 part) |
| Subtract 21 from this number. | (example:99 - 21 = 78) |
| Divide by 2. | (example:78 / 2 = 39) |
| Add 21 to the result. | (example:39 + 21 = 60) |
| The result is the channel number. | (example: result = 60) |
To convert a channel number to a frequency:
| Subtract 21 from the channel number. | (example: i.e. 60 - 21 = 39) |
| Multiply the number by 2. | (example: 39 * 2 = 78) |
| Add 21 to this number. | (example: 78 + 21 = 99) |
| The result can be found by prepending a "72." in front of this number. | (example: result is 72.990) |
