The radio distance calculator uses the standard radio horizon approximation for line-of-sight distance from an antenna or tower height. If you enter the tower height, the calculator finds the estimated radio distance using D = 3. Real routes rarely use identical tower heights. It is especially useful in radio, microwave communication, satellite ground stations, and even outdoor planning for towers. Calculate radio tower height or radio distance from the other value with meter, foot, kilometer, and mile unit conversions and formulas. Describe what you want changed, added, or compared.
