The results of the reprocessing of the experimental data on radio emission from extensive air showers (EAS) earlier obtained at the EAS facility (Moscow State University) are reported. The maximum depth distribution of showers is found from analysis of the width of the spatial distribution of radio emission. The average maximum depth is X$_{max}$ = 655 ± 8 g/cm$^2$ for the primary particle energy E$_0$ ∼ (3–4) × 10$^{17}$ eV. The normalized field strength at E$_0$ = 10$^{17}$ eV is 3.2 ± 0.6 and 2.8 ± 0.4 μV/(m MHz) at distances of 50 and 100 m from the axis, respectively. The accuracy of E$_0$ determination from the radio emission field strength at 50 m from the axis is about 20%.
