Megahertz (MHz) to Kilohertz (kHz) Converter
Enter a value to instantly convert between frequency units.
1 Megahertz = 1000 Kilohertz
Key Formulas
Hertz → Kilohertz
kHz = Hz × 0.001Kilohertz → Hertz
Hz = kHz × 1000Megahertz → Gigahertz
GHz = MHz × 0.001Gigahertz → Megahertz
MHz = GHz × 1000Formula
kHz = MHz × 1,000Kilohertz (kHz) and megahertz (MHz) are frequency scales used across radio engineering, audio, and telecommunications. FM radio stations broadcast in the 87.5–108 MHz range, which engineers and equipment often express as 87,500–108,000 kHz when integrating with older systems or performing signal calculations. Converting MHz to kHz helps bridge legacy equipment specifications with modern frequency standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Real-World Examples
An FM radio station broadcasts at 100 MHz (100,000 kHz). Software-defined radio (SDR) projects often work in kHz when tuning receiver circuits.
100 MHz = 100000 kHz
The WiFi 2.4 GHz band spans 2,400–2,500 MHz, or 2,400,000–2,500,000 kHz. Network engineers use kHz for fine-tuning channel allocations and interference analysis.
2400 MHz = 2400000 kHz
WNYC (88.1 FM) broadcasts at 88.1 MHz, which equals 88,100 kHz. FCC regulations require precise kHz accuracy for frequency allocations.
88.1 MHz = 88100 kHz
The 433 MHz ISM band for remote controls and IoT devices is 433,000 kHz. Hobbyists using frequency counters or spectrum analyzers often see kHz precision on older meters.
433 MHz = 433000 kHz
