Converting Air Delay to Miles for Motorola Canopy Radios
by Matt on Nov.01, 2010, under Tech Tidbits
Motorola Canopy radios report distance as air delay.
To convert air delay into miles for Canopy 2.4 GHz, Canopy 5.7 GHz and the new Canopy OFDM radios the formula is:
((AIRDELAY * 1176) * 0.125) / 5280
For some reason the 900 MHz radio formula is a little different:
((AIRDELAY * 1176) * 0.0416) / 5280
