Calculators for Radio Repair and More

This webpage was created with the intention of coalescing several useful formulas from various sources that I commonly use in radio repair or building projects. These calculators do not have much description in their usage besides the quick reference images that are placed at the right if present. The formulas behind each calculator can be easily seen in the Javascript source in the head of the HTML file on this webpage. Hopefully one or more of these calculators below are useful for your purposes.
